Police virus

[Dean.]

Got a bit of a problem, could anyone help me?

If it's possible to get up a web browser, try to browse about the virus.

Got something similar before, managed to open Firefox with it. Used google to check up what it was and got across a code which i used in the program, and it made the virus delete itself, lol.

As soon as I log into my account on the computer this pops up. Can't click anything.

Start your computer in Safe mode with command prompt and run this command: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe.
Then select the date/time when you didn't had the police virus and let system restore run

System restore will have no effect, the infection will remain in the computer.

Please ask help from one of the malware team helpers in http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?

Follow the steps in the stickied topics THEN post your issue with description, and the logs that were requested at the stickied topics.

I urge you to do it ASAP due to the fact most of the forum users are focused on other boards, and please do not take steps from ordinary users unless you have confidence in them. Remember, it can cost you!

Bad news; this type of infection is called 'scam-ware" and will usually ask money from you in order to unlock your PC, and this is obviously fake.

Good luck.

This is where people begin to learn that they should only click trusted links/files.

Either a good Anti Virus, either give system restore a try.. If that do not help.. Well, either choose between reinstalling windows (way quicker) and get more secure, or either try fixing it, which might take a while... And get more securer to.

How do you get this virus?

[Cesar_Ferrero]

This is a common virus for people who download lots of things, there is a quick solution that I know, Just make a new account and delete that one and its solved, if it don't let you create another account, then I'm sure but I cant help you.
Good Luck fixing it!

Had the german version once, how did you fix it?

I did:


1. CTRL + ALT + DEL
2. Switch to a new account
3.Close any running programs and open Windows so you are back at the desktop.
4.Click on the Start () button.
3.In the Start Menu Search Box (http://www.bleepstatic.com/tutorials/vista-parental-controls/vista-search-box.jpg) type msconfig
and press enter on your keyboard.

Than select "Safe mode". Than reboot the computer.
Than go to config, and than select system recovery, put it back to a day you didn't have the virus yet.


And than its solved, atleast for me.
