Blaster worm ?

On my other laptop I appear to have a blaster worm. A page crops up advertising a Mal-ware program but it wont clear until I PAY.

That in itself tells me something is wrong as it wont allow me anywhere on the PC other than this Mal-ware box. Its telling me there are 47 infections.

Anyone know how I can get rid of the pop up to apply the Microsoft tool to remove the virus.

Everything is blocked by it other than my email?

Many thanks DD

Thanks alBags.

I have it sorted now. I did a search on this site and found the question had cropped up before. On advice found there I did a system restore and its now fixed.

I was totally unable to access anything before, or I would have tried other things;

Meant to add I did a reboot in safe mode. Never dared attemp that before but found it very helpful.
