How do I dowload a fix for this when the virus won’t let me get online with the infected computer

Spot on. Removed the XP Police antivirus problem in seconds and everything has been sweet since. If it wasn’t for you people the worlds computer would all be smoking.

It is a very deep coded virus, all protected, stops amdin access, the whole 9 yards. All good now though!!

Thank you very much for helping me avoid another laborious rebuild!!!

PS download on another PC and then follow the instructions – Marvelous!!!

THEY ARE GONE NOW! IM SO HAPPY! i can finally browse on my large screen again!

Followed webmaster’s instructions, however Task manager still disabled.
How do I get it to start working again?

Wow, that is fantastic, it worked with no problems! I just paid the 50 dollars or whatever the renewal was for Norton and that didn’t even catch it nor did it recognize the virus when scanning. great product!

Q, how do you get it to your computer if you cannot get on the internet???

A, download it on to a different PC, then either use a usb stick to transfer, or as i had to send it your self thu msn messenger….just sign in with different ids on both pcs (i used my id on my pc and my sons id on the infected one) and used send file hope that helps

oh sorry and thanks to precisesecurity it worked a treat

Guys,

Managed to get the same thing……..bugga that it is to get rid of, wont even let you into Cont – alt – delete.

I managed to sort it by going into control panel and restoring my computer to an earlier date.
No pop up and I can browse with ease.
I of course did delete it in the programme files too.

Ta,

Swally

That worked great thank you so much! But just like BJ I do not have access to my Task Manager. It says it has been disabled by my Admin. How do I get it back? Thank you before hand.

Same as Nick above
Everything is fine… except for the fact that I don’t have administration rights anymore

Update!!!

To get your task manager back do the following:

Start.. Run.. (copy/paste the following below).. then click OK. Then do ctrl+alt+del and you should have your task manager back. Hope this helps!

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Holy Crap! What an awesome product. Usually when you download “free anti-malware, spyware” programs they do a half of a job and usually don’t take care of the immediate problem anyways AND they want you to pay immediately for the full version. Here, the xp police virus which disabled my taskmanager and completely crippled my machine was removed in a flash! And without demanding I purchase AND it caught other malware/spyware that my AVG didn’t! My computer runs faster than BEFORE the XP POLICE infestation. Amazing!

I shut down my computer when this program started going crazy. It won’t even boot in safe mode. What do I do?

I created another user account in Windows and was able to access the Task Manager through the new user account.

Thank you! This worked. Thank you Garrett. I did have to run your cmd line as well to get the task manager unlocked.

Yeah, I bought this dumb antivirus and it screw my labtop up. Is it refundable? I pay a chunk of money on this so-called life saver.

Thanks for this posting!

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware did the trick whereas Norton Symantec and Windows defender did not. They both identified it but did not remove it.

TaskManager probs? This utility works @

http://www.taskmanagerfix.com/

I have the malware program installed but cannot actually get it to open. I double click on the short cut and nothing happens. I click on the program in the start menu and nothing happens. What am i doing wrong??

had virus
loaded free program superanti spyware
ran program and it worked quick and easy

A pc I was working on was infected today. Initially Norton’s AV caught it and reported that it deleted /temp/~.exe. Two more notices from Norton and then Norton died and the Police scanner was on my screen. I killed it within Windows task manager, only to see it reappear with 10 processes a second later. The program sabotaged rundll so that programs wouldn’t load. I booted into Windows safe mode and deleted the program folder andthe files added to System32 folder. Since rundll was toast, I couldn’t run regedit, Malwarebytes or get to a command prompt. The program must have suicide code, because on my next boot the program deleted NTLDR so the drive was inaccessible. End result – reinstall windows and spend hours updating.
