Question

My dad hijacked byCitadel/Reveton

by Dec 20, 2012 10:56AM PST

My dad was hijacked by a malware program which comes up as a Government Agency stating that he has been caught downloading and participating in child porn, and it streams videos on the page. It says it will cost him $300.00 to get rid of it. It has rendered his computer useless. I cannot even help him with Team
Viewer. Does anyone have any suggestions???
By the way my dad is 82. He does not watch child porn.
Help Please!!!
