Hi, Has anyone heard of/had any experience with the Metropolitian Police Virus? it runs on start up puts itself to the front stopping you doing anything, I have read a few other forums saying it modifies reg keys and has a few files which need to be deleted but none of these exist on the PC in question, have tried running AVG, MBAM, Spybot S&D and they all found no issues?

If anyone knows of this virus or how to remove it i'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

You can try this and see if it works. I had something similar. This is what they call a randsomware virus.
