Laptop is flashing ' urgent warning your �� has been infected with stolen pornography phone .........to repair it' I cannot get rid of it and even turning it off it just comes back when restarted. Any ideas of how to stop this please. Before anybody ask I haven't been on any suspicious sights only NSC and bank today.

Good solid advise.
What if I do ...
Good solid advise
I think it's better if I do this.
Good solid advise.
I'm going to call Steve Jobs...

You really need to give Linux a go, it really will stop this rubbish once and for all.

You could try booting into safe mode abs roll back to previous system restore point. That will get rida of anything installed since that restore point. Then run malwarebytes and scan the machine. Free version should suffice.

Hi. Something similar happened to me some 5 years ago. The way I solved it was by contacting my virus/malware protector who were great but it did take a while and several calls all of which were toll-free. The more extreme solution is to buy another laptop. Good luck.

Incidentally if his computer won't start how did he post his plea for help? I smell a rat here.
