  1. Reboot your PC and press F8 to start in safe mode/ Scan PC with your AntiVirus. Then reboot again.


  2. Go into safe mode and use a virus remover tool or if you know what the virus is, look up removal instructions. After this, if your PC is still locked and you use Vista, you can open up command prompt (in safe mode) and do the following:

    Net user administrator password (you can change password to a password of your choice)

    Net user administrator /active:yes

    The hidden superuser account will be activated.
