[QUOTE="Mercury7, post: 198345, member: 22795"] Desktop blocked with bogus DHS ICE site. Won't boot up in safe/safe network/safe prompt. Each kicks out and pc reboots normally, which means back to ransom page. Windows Vista (x64) w/circa 2006 MB hardware. Created Hitman flashdrive kickstart and Sidekick CD, but boot hangs/fails when it tries USB. Tried above flashdrive w/Hiren's boot CD but also fails to boot from USB. Tried Bitdefender boot CD, which booted and scanned OK, but failed to identify/remove ransom malware. Advanced Boot Options do not include the 'Repair your computer' or 'System Recovery' choices; only these: Enable Boot Logging Enable low-resolution video (640x480) Last Known Good Configuration (Advanced) - tried this one already; still gets ransom page. Directory Services Restore Mode Debugging Mode Disable automatic restart on system failure Disable Driver Signature Enforcement Again, all 3 safe mode choices result in pc starting windows normally, which results in ransom page. Using Knoppix boot disk now to backup files, mainly in prep for reinstall of Vista. Reinstall is last ditch option but would (MUCH) rather avoid. Is there another option? [/QUOTE]
