Had something like this happen to me years ago. Scared the hell out of me.

I just went through this. I had to look up online to see how best to get rid of this fraud virus. I was able to to open my computer in MS-DOS using Command Prompt, and selecting safe mode. I was then able to do a system restore. Once this is done you can use your computer, but do a complete virus scan with the latest software. It will still be on your computer. I was able to detect everything, and now my computer is fine. It sucks but you can get rid of this on your own without the embarrassment of going to a computer tech.

I had same but with australian fedral police, I couldn't anything as soon as it started it was blank till that screen came up I ended up re-installing system by changing bios settings and booting of disc
