Hi All,
My laptop has recently been infected by the PCEU virus. I have tried and failed to remove it! Is there anything I can do to remove it or a link to a guide on how to remove it?
I have tried system restore in safe mode, but the computer immediately shuts itself down which I suspect could be the virus.
Most people who have this virus have reported that as soon as they turn their PC on the virus screen appears pretending to be the Police locking the computer and demanding credit card information to unlock it. However for me I can turn on my PC and use it fine, its only when I turn on my wireless within the laptop that the screen appears so I suspect it is activated when I attempt to connect to a network.
I am fortunate enough that I can back up all my files yes, but when I try to access the internet thats when the virus strikes. I have tried running norton scans (I have norton internet security 2012) before turning on my wireless and the scans complete after about an hour. BUT it finds nothing. My product was up to date before the virus hit.
Im rather stuck and even though I have a reasonable knowledge of computers, I have no idea how to remove this virus so any help would be appreicated :)
(I have all the usual blank CDs, USB sticks and another working computer I can still use if I need to download a fix.)
Chris.
