anyone else had this?

just poped up on my computer screen saying "west yorkshire police have locked this computer" then rambled on about 'its happed becuse ive been watching child porn' :wtf: but they will unlock my computer if i payed them £100 lol

how do thick ****s fall for this kinda crap, you have been watching kiddy porn but give us 100 quid and its alright, rightttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

never mind, went into safe mode then restore the computer from the last update thingy, seems to have got rid of it, is there anyway to make sure it dosnt come back?

I have had something similar... However not from a porn site lol

Do a system restore... Then upgrade your antivirus... I'd recommend something like ESET Smart Security... Updates all the time and never gives me any hassle. Can even have parental controls... Would be funny as feck if you was to block the book of face or something for your bird lollol
