In most cases, the ignorant users are deceived by the bogus police because they are afraid to be held liable and be arrested for the illegal activities online. Moreover, users are afraid that the affected browsers and machines may be in danger of attacked by other malicious threats and they may lose all important data and files, so they decide to pay the fine as requested.

Of course, Cerber 4.0 virus brings nothing but many computer problems to the infected computer systems. Since it is installed in browsers, it can easily alter the browser settings and allow more and more cyber threats or unnecessary programs to enter the compromised computer and destroy it. Once the computer security protection is weakened, cybercriminals will have a chance to gain access to and control the vulnerable computer without permission. Under the circumstances, the invaders can steal all the important and valuable data on the computer and use them for business deals or other illegal activities. Sometimes, hackers may also encrypt users' files with sophisticated algorithm so the regular computer users cannot decrypt and use them easily. In this case, users may suffer from huge losses and their infected machines will be in a terrible situation. To prevent such disastrous consequences, users should remove Cerber 4.0 Ransomware as soon as possible and repair the affected computer system in time.
