Killing off Windows Police Pro

First, let me say once again how much I despise rogue programs, and Windows Police Pro is a nasty one. It’s of the same family as Windows Antivirus Pro, which I wrote about around April 1st.

The first warning that you’re infected is an obnoxious pop up that states your computer is infected, and recommends you purchase their program.

Windows Police Pro also acts as ransomware because it prevents you from accessing websites to download anti-spyware or anti-virus programs like AVG or StopZilla. X’ing out of the pop up is impossible, but all is not lost.

How to remove this nasty beast from your computer

First, open up your Task Manager (control, alt & delete), then end the Windows Police Pro process. Also end the svchast.exe process. Then go to RUN, and type regedit to edit your registry. Do edit find Windows Police Pro and delete those entries. Then you should be able to access the AVG or StopZilla websites, download and install their programs, do a scan and remove the infection.

I used StopZilla on my grandchildren’s laptop and you could actually hear Windows Police Pro groan when StopZilla killed it off. LOL.

    THis WORKS!!!! but it’s really hard to do you have to keep trying to do this, the virus won’t just give in. Keep closing popups in task manager (PROCESSES AND APPLICATIONS) repetitively. Keep trying to run regedit!!! ( in the run task in the start menu). Search for police pro. Keep closing pop ups and keep searching for files until Stopzilla allows you to download it. ( Stopzilla.com). If it won’t download keep going into regedit and keep searching for police pro. Then wipe it out!!!!!! This is the 8th way I tried and it finally worked!! I’m soooooo happy!!!!!
