this may help you out of the ctr-alt-delete problem. first, its easiest to remove all the file if you first stop the process. So go to run, and then type cmd to get the the command prompt. then just type: “taskkill /f /fi /XPPolice.exe” but with out the quotes. then go about manually cleaning.
then to get ctrl-alt-delete back do this…
Go to Run:
Type: “REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f” also without the quotes. it worked for me. good luck
It’s affecting my browser too….any ideas on how to disable it so that I can download a removal tool? I did end it by ctr-alt-delete and I have removed some files. I still am unable to get on the internet on that computer.
