If your PC has more than one user’s account and at least one of them is not blocked, you have to log in to an unaffected account and scan your computer with anti-malware programs, e.g. spyhunter. Another method is using System Restore. You should restore your computer to the date before the infection. Please note that even though the blocking might have been removed, the virus remains inside your computer therefore it is extremely important to perform a full system scan using antimalware tools. It might be that those you have installed are blocked by Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section virus therefore it is recommended to either check if your computer protection is functioning properly or use another program, such as spyhunter.
