Hello all, I was working on my laptop today when it, all the sudden, froze up, took a picture of me and then showed me a screen saying I was in violation of numerous laws and had 72 hours to pay $300 using a greendot prepaid credit card. I assume this happened from searching the internet and clicking on bogus links. I did have one issue with numerous popups today, but I was trying to close them as fast as I could. Anyway, I've spent quite a bit of time reading on this forum and trying to make sure I get the right instructions to clean my laptop? When I restart my laptop, it goes to the same screen. A grey/white screen reporting NSA or some other logo saying I'm in violation of some laws and demanding $300 within 72 hours". I can't access anything windows. This screen is blocknig all of my activity (but I can hear skype running in the background). I've also tried SAFE MODE... It simply reboots into normal windows mode and I'm locked again. Thus, I was hoping there was a command line function that would allow me to scan my laptop from DOS? I see other instructions for Cryptolock cleaning, but wanted to make sure I don't follow the wrong instructions. Can someone please assist when they have the time? Thank you in advance..
