seem to have got rid of it -eventually got Malwarebytes to run. Still suspicious something lurks beneath the surface. This is a real nasty one...read this lot (where i got the info from to eventually get round it)

Security Tool - how to remove

safe mode didnt work for quite a while and it doesnt let you run any programme

Glad to hear you got rid of this. Do you know where you picked it up from - a dodgy site or just normal surfing???

Suprisingly not a **** page but normal surfing!
One guy on that link says he got it from you tube???
anyway it just appeared

We are cleaning it now - but we are still under the impression that things might be lurking under the surface.

We shall see!
