[Help] UKASH Police virus

Has anyone else happened to get attacked by this piece of * ?

Wife was using a spare computer,no virus protection on it at all and now this Virus has locked it.

Anything i can do to get rid of it ?

 

Try boot up in safe mode (F8) select with networking, connect to the net and download Malwarebytes.. run the scan delete and then reboot

 

I've not had this one but have had some nasties.

If Malwarebytes doesn't work try AVG.

If it won't let you access the net in safe mode, you may have to reinstall your OS

 

Found this online if it helps.

Enter safe mode (press F8 at boot). In start menu enter 'search'. Search .exe files and identify file created at time of virus entry- it will be long random number (EXAMPLE 0.4998473.exe). Often found in the system32 folder and is most likely the only .exe consisting of a long number. Delete it- if you are nervous remember it can be restored from recycle bin. Reboot PC/Laptop. On successful resumption of Windows delete that file from your recyle bin.

Then get your spare computer some kind of virus protection. Lots of free ones around also but can you not share the AV you have with another computer? I'm no computer guy so best ask someone who knows which are the best to use if going for a free AV.

 

in the end if no online method works remove the hardrive from you comp for 15 seconds to reboot

 

Whenever I get a virus I just do a system restore. Works everytime.

 

This will not help.

 

I have had it before, got rid of it by using malwarebytes and AVG

This should work.

 

I had it...shat myself because it said i was a peado

 

Stick your comp in to safe mode, download an anti virus software and remove it should work.

 

Also I've got comodo anti virus on my spare laptop and it worked.a treat and never ran out.

 

Safe mode with networking and download malware bytes and rkill, install and update mwbytes.
Run rkill (takes about a minute) then run a full system malwarebytes scan.

 

i got this not too long ago * myself at first,then i relised it was a virus had to pay 40 noters to get it fixed

 

How's the virus distributed? E-mail? Sites?

 

Not got a clue.

Wife was downloading some films,it happened then.

 

It probably just attacks your computer when your downloading files then. Or when you visit sites cause your still downloading stuff. Never had it but it sounds quite nasty and by the sounds of it, not a lot you can do if you don't have anti-virus.

 

Get a mac like me
no need for virus protection and still no virus 6 years later

 

Mac's aren't invincible

 

there have been like 2 trojan's, but people who get infected are he stupid ones.
