Removal instructions:
Copy it on a flash drive then boot the affected computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt and log into the account of the affected user. This is extremely important as your desktop is – most likely – locked by the malware.- Use the command prompt to launch the removal tool from the removable medium and run it. The scanning process is extremely targeted to the specific areas of the system which are affected by this particular e-threat, so the whole process should only take between five and ten seconds.
- Reboot the computer and start it normally. Your desktop should now be unlocked.
