Solved Police Ukash virus but computer isn't blocked

[Veronica]

When I clicked on a video on a peer-to-peer site I got the "spanish police - you have to pay 100 euros for watching illegal material" page, and I was unable to close that page. I simply closed down the computer and had no problems turning it back on again. I didn't need to use safe mode, it seems fine. My question then, is, should I follow the removal process provided by MalwareTips, given that I don't have the problem of not being able to restart my computer.

Thanks, I've run the Farbar scan, logs are attached.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Thanks again! Well, I did that.. I presume it was in "the same location".. sorry for my ignorance. The fixlog is attached.

hmm, seems the fixlog wasnt attached, trying again

Excellent. How is your PC now?

Well it seems fine.. as I said in the first message, the virus didnt seem to have affected it, certainly it hadnt blocked it. So I suppose its OK, and I suppose I should stay away from videos on that peer-to-peer website. Anyway, thanks heaps for your help, tbh I didnt realise that personal attention would be forthcoming.. I wish I could buy you a beer but I'm a strange person who decided years ago that I dont like banks.. so no bank account/credit card to make a donation with.. but if you're ever in Palma de Mallorca let me know and I will buy you that beer Have a great day.
