Folks
While getting used to my new Software, I copied and pasted some Lyrics from a Lyric site. I immediately got a "Computer Locked" message, supposedly from the Police, stating that my Computer was locked, and giving a number of reasons, and asking for €100, payable by entering a code, to have it unlocked. Im afraid Ive lost a lot of my files [ as stupidly, I did not do a backup for about a Month]
Please all be aware of this....it seems a serious threat for us who are searching for lyrics etc.

Hi Jerry... Hope you didn't pay up thats just a SCAM ... you'll just need to remove the Malware/Trojan from your pc instructions are here. Don't worry all your files should be safe it seems the Trojan is not capable of wiping your hard drive . Just follow the instructions its not so difficult to remove . deletemalware.blogspot.ie/2011/06/remove-metropolitan-police-ransomware.html Barry
