After many tries I managed to enter a menu that resembles it,but cannot find the exact function for going further.I do not want to do a factory reset,so help me,please How to get rid of that virus And how to enter the safe mode,what is the wording for that? THANK YOU |

Arc 7 locked by Ukash virus,continued
Well, by trying , failing and succeeding I managed to understand that to get to safe mode one need to press power down,to press and hold volume up and down button
Safe mode is written in the left bottom corner I downloaded avast ransomware removal and avast mobile Antivirus but I cannot go further and actually remove that locked screen Canadian cyber police (my foot!) So if you have some pointers in that I would appreciate. |

Kobo Arc locked by Canadian cyber police virus-follow up
Well, I did manage to download remotely Avast ransomware tool, and it did a scan but was unable to remove it .So - the only thing that worked is a factory reset. Nothing of the things recommended elsewhere did not remove the lock.
Just to let you know |

I suggest that you post this question here - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...-removal-logs/
I'm not affiliated with the site but there are a lot of people on that Website who help remove viruses for free. edit: whoops... I missed the part about the factory reset. Mods, feel free to delete this post. |
