Is Copyright Violation Alert or I-Q Manager Real? Windows Has Detected That You Are Using Content That Was Downloaded in Violation of the Copyright – Copyrighted Content Detected

The Copyright Violation Alert is a new kind of scam. icpp-online.com or I-Q Manager Antipiracy Foundation Scanner pretends to be a scanner devised by a law firm that represents a variety of copyright associations.

When this Trojan is installed, it will pretend to be a scanner that scans your computer for copyrighted materials such as Torrents. It will then display warnings that state copyrighted material have been found, and information about this material has been sent to law enforcement agencies and copyright holders.

It then suggests that you either pay a settlement of $399.85 or pass your case to the courts where you will be trialed by a judge. The scanner will also link to a fake web site called icpp-online.com as well as show proof of your copyright infringement.

All of this is a scam, though, and you should not give them your credit card information. The I-Q Manager Trojan was created to bully you out of your money by making you think you are in trouble with the law. It goes without saying that you should definitely not provide any payment information to these criminals as there is a good chance that your information will be used for identity theft. Do not fall for these virus creators bait into buying this Ransomware! and if you already have, you should immediately contact your credit card company and dispute the charges.

While the I-Q Manager Trojan is running you will also see fake warnings appear on your taskbar that state that copyrighted information has been detected. Some of the Warnings are:
