i just had to clean this today.. malware bytes takes care of it. what you need to do is to log into safemode and delete the windows police folder from program files. then install and run malwarebytes several times to clean the infection. i havent found any residual effects from it yet.. will keep you posted.. it seems from the research i have done it is new.
sms552, thanks for the info. As you can see this thread is solved. If you need more info or wish to ask a question please feel free to start your own thread.

Re: Need Help - Windows Police Pro?? Totally Locked Up.

Other observations with this malware (or one looking just like it)
EXE files are vectored through something identifying as desote.exe; removing that file completely breaks the EXE handling vector. Cannot get into regedit in any fashion. A process called svchasts.exe was running; deleted it from task manager and it has not come back.

We may have a doorstop if I can't work out a way to reassociate EXE files to work, as I can't find the original XP CD on this box.

OOPS - responded without checking the tail end of the thread. Will start a new one.

hing your advice before you post it, this is getting to be a real habit here.
I wasn't putting in as advice, but simply stating a fact in response to comment from Kevin that he vaguely remembered there was a way to do it.... and given the fact the OP has demonstrated an ability to research things before jumping to response, was comfortable putting that tit-bit in (certainly wouldn't advise that to anyone likely to stop start-up processes without checking first). Personally use CCleaner myself as well as MSconfig, but have the experience to do so, and the sense to look-up unknown processes.

NB: do remember I did advise to wait for feedback on legitimacy of posted site, as had not had the time to check up on the site and didn't want the OP bricking his system... I have taken advice on board

Re: Need Help - Windows Police Pro?? Totally Locked Up.

Having similar problems with this...

On boot to normal mode, WPP pops up and does its thing.

On boot to safe mode w/ networking, I just get a black screen.

Any ideas?
