Recently we’ve seen a rise in the number of computers infected with police themed Ransomware. The malware shows a message, supposedly from the local police, demanding that a fine must be paid in order to unlock the computer.

Various sources promote the use of a rescue-CD to get rid of the malware. But if you don’t want to perform this cumbersome task of burning the CD-image and changing your BIOS settings to boot from it, you can also run HitmanPro from a USB stick to remove the Ransomware.

Rescue CD or USB stick, pretty much par for the course anyway.
Thanks for info James :)

This is just too easy when compared with all the hassle of creating a bootable disk....
HitmanPro is evolving in a nice way...

HitMan Pro is a great performer. I use it for intelligence when MBAM may not detect a threat.
