Hi,

go here and download the rescue CD ISO and create a bootable disk with it, then boot your PC with the CD inserted and make sure you use a network cable so it can update, there won't be much missing as it is a daily build of Avira AntiVirus:

Thank you very much.
I tried with Kaspersky 10 ISO CD but it doesn't work.

Lets see avira


Thanks in advance

One thing I forgot to point out with a virus is to select "Rename" in the options, often Anti Virus software cannot delete a certain file but if you rename it, it makes it unusable/deactivates it!!.

The rescue CD from Avira has saved my a** a few times I must admit!!. I use Aviria Free on my Windoze PC!!. There isn't much difference between the free version and the pay version.

The Avira Rescue CD is a daily build (I think more than once a day!) so there really isn't much need to update it, you can of course use it months afterwards and then it would need to be updated!!.

Regards Wolfman

I assume that Avira does the same but I am not sure!!.

I almost forgot about Bitdefender for Linux:

Not sure if this still works as I haven't tried it in ages:

First of all.- THANKS EVERY BODY

But... secondly, It doesn't work at all.

I tried Dr web, Avira CD, Kaspersky and Kingsoft Cd Antivirus, and there was no SOLUTION till I search with mi Linux on the net for different / other possibilites.


Finally I repaired it, using the following procedure:
- I used linux to download a programm called "POLIFIX" specially designed to clean El virus de la Policia.
- I started Windows in "Modo a prueba de fallos con simbolo del sistema" and It was really difficult because the virus had bloqued this option
- In 30 secs my windows was virus free, but... The next time I started windows, it advise me that the system must be revised to solve some incoherences.... and consecuence of this MY PC CANT START AGAIN.

- I tried a lot of things to make it work again, but the final solucion was find a non-modified versión of Windows 7, start the computer with it , and chose the repair system option.

15 minutes and problem solved

Thank you every body for your help

Windows 7- Zorin 6.02 And Linux Peppermint

For anyone that gets the "Police Virus" or is unaware of what it is:

Under no circumstances should you make any payment to MoneyPak,Ukash or PaySafeCard code, you will never see your money again and your PC still won't be virus free!!!!.

Hope you never have to use it!!.
