RE: THE SCREENSAVER THAT APPEARS FROM THE POLICE TO SAY THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED AS IT HAS BEEN USED TO ACCESS ILLEGAL SITES:

Hi jeff,

I have had this happen to me as well- pretty scary as it locks down your laptop and shows a webcam of your room !

I immediately realised it was a scam and managed to fix it myself by Googling it and following the instructions. It is not an easy task and I'm surprised I managed to get rid of it.

The most important thing to learn is - make sure that you have a good anti-virus system on your computer- even the free ones work.
