You really need to give Linux a go, it really will stop this rubbish once and for all.

You could try booting into safe mode abs roll back to previous system restore point. That will get rida of anything installed since that restore point. Then run malwarebytes and scan the machine. Free version should suffice.

Can you actually run anything else while this message is up ? Such as an internet browser ?

Hi. Something similar happened to me some 5 years ago. The way I solved it was by contacting my virus/malware protector who were great but it did take a while and several calls all of which were toll-free. The more extreme solution is to buy another laptop. Good luck.

No the only thing I can do is turn it off via power button not shut down.

Incidentally if his computer won't start how did he post his plea for help? I smell a rat here.

What's a 'pornography phone' ? Have you been dialling those 0898 numbers off of the 1980's again?

I think it's meant to read stolen pornography....phone to repair it
