I just went through this. I had to look up online to see how best to get rid of this fraud virus. I was able to to open my computer in MS-DOS using Command Prompt, and selecting safe mode. I was then able to do a system restore. Once this is done you can use your computer, but do a complete virus scan with the latest software. It will still be on your computer. I was able to detect everything, and now my computer is fine. It sucks but you can get rid of this on your own without the embarrassment of going to a computer tech.

I have been lucky so far, but it's a common scam/virus. My gf's dad was going to send the money - lol! It wouldn't have helped anyway. Google direction about removing it - I like to use bleepingcomputer.com. Not an ad, just a personal recommendation.
