Police Computer Virus - 25th Nov 2012 5:20pm
I was unfortunate enough to get one of those fake police viruses, telling me I had visited inappropriate sites & inviting me to pay £100.00 to get my computer unlocked.
Couldn't get rid of it by switching off & on again, so tried a system restore to an earlier time, and on the face of it, that seems to have done the trick.
I've since run virgin's anti-virus scan, and also malwarebytes, and neither can find anything lurking.
Does anyone know if it's likely I have got rid of this virus by my actions, or am I in for further nasty surprises?
