I have tried the hitman pro method to remove the police virus. Everytime I restart the computer, the police lock screen pops right up. I cant do anything except restart the computer and try hitman pro again. It does find the virus and remove it but it keeps coming back as soon as the computer is turned on. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to MalwareTips! :)

My name is Fiery and I would gladly assist you in removing the malware on your computer.

Before we start:
  • Note that the removal process is not immediate. Depending on the severity of your infection, it could take a long time.
  • Malware removal can be dangerous. I cannot guarantee the safety of your system as malware can be unpredictable. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system. Therefore, I would advise you to backup all your important files before we start.
  • Please be patient and stay with me until I give you the green lights and inform you that your PC is clean.
  • The absence of symptoms does not mean your PC is fully disinfected.
  • If you are unclear about the instructions, please stop and ask. Following the steps in the order that I post them in is vital.
  • Lastly, if you have requested help on other sites, that will delay and hinder the removal process. Please only stick to one site.
