Q: Police Central E-crime Unit virus on MacBook Pro?
I got a fake pop-up called Police Central E-crime Unit warning me that my computer had been found visiting malicious sites. I have researched it and it is a virus. I am unable to close safari or visit another webpage. Also, I can't log out, restart or shut down my macbook. I have tried running 2 different antivirus programmes (iAntivirus and Bitdefender) on the whole system but both couldn't find anything. What can I do to get rid of it?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you can use Safari, go to Safari menu (in the menu bar) > Preferences > Privacy, and press "Remove all Website Data". By doing this, you will remove everything related to that website, so now you will be able to close Safari and turn off your computer
