ICE Cyber Crimes Center Virus is not scam. The makers are attempting to link the threat with a real Federal Agency. However this is not from the United States government. This is a scam that is just using the name of an agency.
This scam is nothing new. In 2012 we saw a large number of these kind of scams. One in particular called FBI MoneyPak looks to be from the same makers of this virus. The removal process is the same as well. You can download this Virus Removal Tool to help out. We do not recommend manual removal. You should always consider using an antivirus client. However we do still list manual instructions.
The scam is all the same. ICE Cyber Crimes Center Virus is installed on the computer it will block access to most other programs and also show constant error messages. Users will be told they are being hacked and that they have a billion viruses on their computer. This is all a lie and the purpose is to scare and trick you into making a purchase.

What is ICE Cyber Crimes Center Virus Doing to My Computer Right Now?
Good and bad news here. The good news is your personal information is safe. It’s not destroying documents or stealing information from your computer. It will however attempt to use your webcam to take a picture!!! This is super creepy. In most cases this virus will block you from using many programs on your computer.

The main purpose of ICE Cyber Crimes Center Virus is to block and limit the computer use. Then show false error messages to get the user of the computer to make a purchase of the software.

When this threat blocks you it will say it did it because you, where surfing pornography that is illegal, downloading copyrighted material or using unregistered software. The goal of the criminals is to make users think they have done something wrong. They threaten with heavy fines and jail time if you don’t pay up. Of course it’s all a lie and you where able to figure that one out rather quick I bet.

ICe Cyber Crimes Center Virus Manual Removal Procedures
As mentioned, we do not recommend manual removal. However it can be done.
The first thing you will need to do is to locate a ran dome executable file on your computer.
The virus name is like the below
- [random].exe ( Example is rgt3kGdEd01804.exe or jdhf.exe ) Your file trace will be named different. The name will be gibberish in nature.
Here are several ways to find and stop this threat
A. Browse to the file location shown below. You may have to show hidden files and folders as the App Data Folder is a hidden folder. Learn how to at http://www.removevirus.org/show-hidden-files-and-folders . Now sort the files by date. You should only have 1-3 files that have been installed in the last day or so in this folder. Choose the file that most resembles the virus name traits and re-name the file. You can not delete a file while in use. However you now can re-boot your computer and then delete the file you re-named. Now you can run a full virus scan and should have control over your computer again.
B. Boot into Safe Mode and delete the file. Again look at the file path below. You can also boot into “safe mode with networking” and download Spyware Doctor with Antivirus. You will be able to install it and run the virus scan. Learn how to boot into safe mode here
C: Log-into another users account and see if you can delete the file. Again use the File Locations below to locate the file
E: Start the Task Manager the very second you login and terminate the process that way.
F: Use the command line to kill the task and then delete the file using the File Locations below. This is a little more advanced but we have a guide on this on http://www.removevirus.org/kill-running-process-using-command-line
File Locations
Take note that the below file locations contain hidden files and folders. For instance the App Data folder is a hidden folder. In order to view these folders you will need to show hidden files and folders. Learn how to at http://www.removevirus.org/show-hidden-files-and-folders
Windows XP:
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\[random]\[random].exe
- C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\[random].exe
Windows Vista | Windows 7 | Windows 8
- C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\[random].exe
- C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\[random].exe
Once you have deleted the above executable, ICe Cyber Crimes Center Virus will no longer be running. At this time you need to run a full virus scan. RUN THE SCAN!. We recommend wither SpyHunter. You need to ensure no other viruses are on your computer. So many people skip this very simple step. Take an extra few minutes and ensure you have all the viruses removed.
If you can’t seem to delete this virus you can hire a professional to help. We recommend www.pcninja.com
Conclusion
For some this threat is very hard to remove. If you are banging your head against the wall, walk away for 20 minutes and re-read the guide. These are the exact steps I use all the time to remove this virus strain and it works every time for me. If you need professional help we like http://www.pcninja.com. They can get you sorted for a good honest price. Don’t forget to run a full virus scan after you manually remove this threat. I really do not care which antivirus software you use to do the scan just be sure to run it. If you don’t want to get infected with another virus I recommend using SpyHunter. It’s what I have on my computers and I don’t get infected and surf bad areas of the web all the time.
One problem, I have XP, and the latest incarnation only allowed me safemode with command prompt. So, you also should give instructions on how to do a system restore in DOS, or navigate to the files you mentioned and delete in DOS. Another item, I was able to get to safemode with networking, by logging in as a different user, and his allowed me to get on the internet to find out how to do this.
B and C in the removal guide cover the other user account and being in safe mode as options for deleting. We do have a guide on deleting files from command prompt as well but they are under the how to guides. I won’t mention DOS in the removal guides because either you already know how to use and move around or your not going to know.
Remove ICE Cyber Crime Virus
I tried for 8 hrs & nothing worked. All Safe Modes are completely disabled. Without internet connection Hitmanpro is useless. Kaspersky boot disc didnt work either. I Put in Windows XP disc and choosed option to keep files, and reloaded windows.
I feel your pain Joe.
Sometimes it’s just easier to re-load. One thing you could of still done is used the command prompt to find and terminate the virus. More complicated but we have a video on it for those out there in the same boat.
This virus is a bad one.
I’m in the same boat as described above – can get into Safe Mode but all safe mode types when selected lead to a forced shut down. IS the only way at this point to run the Windows XP disc and do a full wipe of the system?
This does not happen to everyone infected with this virus but does happen from time to time. What you can do is purchase an antivirus client that allows you to make a boot discuss that you can boot from and scan. Many av clients now have this option. Spy hunter is one such product. You can also go on a secondary computer and create a repair disk. Just a few options for you. Hit us back with more questions or your end results.
