My computer got hacked by a police virus fine. How do i get rid of it, it blocks my screen & asks me £100 fine?

Well its already been pointed out by both you and others that this was a fake. In future though there are some little hints you can go by to figure it out. Oficially your browser should never be hijacked like that, any real attempt to contact you by the police will be a visit to your door or a letter. The second major hint to me comes in terms of the grammar used in the webpage, officially things very rarely have grammatical or spelling errors in, but when you read this its not the best English ever, "unsolicited bulk messages was sent"?....think its were in that situation :P. Looks to me like a template that then gets sent all over world, changing country and police department as well as the fine amount. The line "we discovered (more spelling mistakes there unless it was the op :P)videos files that contain elements of violence", shows that too me...due to the fact images of violence aren't illegal over here :-s I'd imagine you are using internet explorer? thats the only broswer I know with such holes in to allow that kind of hijack. I'd suggest switching to firefox and getting adblock plus, hopefully you'd never see anything like that again. Accessing someones hard drive (remotely) by the way is illegal, so blocking or locking it is also illegal. So I guess the police won't do it for those reasons too :P

As the other comments say it's a scam and will appear every time you turn your computer on unless you remove it. Solution restart the computer in safe mode and clear. To do this.. Try holding {Control} {alt} and {delete} keys together to bring up the shut down/restart option. select restart (failing this switch off at mains and back on again) (I have vista but i presume its a similar process for other versions)Reboot in Safe Mode by pressing F8 while pc starts up Select safe mode with command prompt...windows will then restart Type MSCONFIG This will bring up a configuration screen. click on 'start up' tab. This will show you all the programmes opening on start up and one of them will be causing all the problems. On my list there was one entry with a random selection of letters which made it easy to spot. Just untick and click apply and its done. It will prompt you to restart. If you have a few unknown entries try unticking one at time and repeat the whole process by elimination until you've got the right one. Good luck

I got exactly the same thing today at about 7 pm the person below who gave the solution to fix this problem that was very good. thanks

just open your computer using safe mode and try to find that file and delete it

It's obviously a virus...:/ Just get an antivirus, or reinstall windows, it will be gone :P

The fine may be waived at the discretion of the Police Officers assigned to your case. The best thing to do, is to take your computer along to your nearest Police Station and ask to speak to the desk Sergeant, in relation to seeking a 'Voluntary Confession and Unlocking of Computer Equipment' order. (Or it might be a joke.) ***************************************… DON'T give your contact details. That was probably sent by the same idiots who sent the first message. ***************************************…
