Ass-hat Met Police virus on my netbook

[Corygal]

And I can't get rid. The antivirus I've somehow managed to get onto the dear little Dell Inspiron has spotted the bugger but the windows wont shrink down enough to let me press delete.

Grr, and breathe. Have spent 14 hours on the 'electric interweb' on the trusty mac trying to find a fix that works.

Help received with craven gratitude.

oh god we had that and had to call in the professionals to deal with it. :( do you have someone you could call?

oh i empathise ....... had it on pc and it was a b* to get rid.... and it infects files even if its deleted, I lost quite a few.

Sorry I can't remember exactly how got rid, had to get a special programme and cannot remeber where.

Just wanted to wish you all the best !

have always found \link{http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/\geeks2go} quite helpful for online advice

Thanks so much. I dont actually need anything on the pc, so I could wipe the lot. What hacks me off most is that I really want to sell the netbook, wh is practically unused, and I dont reckon anyone will buy it in this condition.

Done that, box -closest I got to killing it, but it didn't work.

Oh just re read and realised you might have already done that oops

Any youtube videos help?

Wail. none of them. I might have another go but it's hard to track what you've done and what you haven't.

Thanks for yours - I'll have a go...

If you are planning on selling it anyway i would just wipe the whole thing.
If you have a re-install disc use that.

I think I got rid of this by starting in safe mode and running a full scan using MalwareByes Anti-Malware

I agree with monkey, it was what I did eventually with my PC as couldn't get rid of a virus.

It seemed a bit ott, but it works

Wipe it, it'll be quicker.
