    Hi ,

    From F8, I dont have option of "Repair your computer", and no restore disc either, if i am quick enough from F8, I can use "Safe mode with command prompt", before virus kicks in, and run Frst tool, again have attached file, fingers crossed . Thanks in advance.

    FRST does not work properly if run from Windows. It must be run from the Recovery Environment. If you cannot do this, then you will have to try the below.

    The Kaspersky WindowsUnlocker utility to fight ransom malware
