I actually removed this one on my own, My buddy got it, and it pretty much takes control of your computer, and says you were looking at some illegal stuff, anyways, Safe mode just kept shutting down before I could actually do anything, So I booted it as normal, and the only way to break the hold, was to shutdown / restart. So I hit ctrl + alt + del, and selected Shutdown, and quickly hit the Windows key + r, and brought up the run function, and typed in shutdown - a, which would cancel the shutdown, and this took me the second time shutting down to hit okay, and once i hit okay, the virus broke it's hold, and I was able to use malwarebytes / ccleaner / microsoft security essentials.

Just remember, if you cut the head off a dragon, there's still the bits and pieces everywhere. So don't be surprised if you still run into virus's after this is cleaned, this is just the initial way to be able to begin the process to clean your computer.

I've never thought about that - a good share. Luckily, I've never encountered this virus personally, but I've heard of it happening.

Anyway, I'm sure this will help the people who have had this problem before.

I hope I never get this virus. Otherwise I would just flip out and go crazy after it kept shutting down my computer.

That virus seems to suck! I hope I never get it, if I do I will just restore this hunk of sh*t.

I had an FBI Virus on my desktop about 4 months ago, I have learned from that. I should be fine with the anti viruses I have now.

Same I'm actually going to move everything on to another Hard Drive soon just in case. I download alot of things from Skype so I don't really want to risk getting this and losing everything.

I had something like this on my old Asus, hopefully it won't happen again.

Cool way to bypass this; thanks for posting!

Kickstart can get rid of the block and run Hitman Pro to get rid of the files. It's a pretty nice tool to have.

I had this virus, but it was from the Met police. I couldn't get to the desktop at all. Had to do a full reboot.
