A friend has suddenly had a log for 'Platte Media' appear on his PC he
doesn't remember downloading it but did click on it to see what it was.
This resulted in a pop up appearing saying that he now owed them £29 and
a message stating that free removal instructions were available by
ringing a number; he rang the number and was told that if he paid the
£29 and gave his address they would send him an uninstall disk, he
declined and has now asked me for help. Since that time his PC will not
close down or restart unless he switches it off manually.

I've googled about this and it seems that many people are affected with
this, and that people publishing ways of removing it have been
threatened with legal proceedings unless they remove their instructions.

Can anyone help remove this please, it really does seem an
invidious programme with if not actually illegal procedures, very foot
in the door and aggressive marketing.

His PC is running Win 2K, with Ad Aware, Spybot & AVG all up to date and
not touching it.

Best off luck and in future be careful what you download :(

How can ANY company hold you to ransom for a piece of software you didn't intentionally download?

Aren't there laws against such practices?
