Politiet Norge Virus Removal

Please help!!! Politiet Norge virus appeared on my desktop a couple days ago. It is really freaking me out. I don’t know what to do because as long as I turned the PC on, it gave me a police warning page. I concerned that if I will get any trouble with illegal issues because according to the locking screen, it says I have to pay a fine of 100 euro through Ukash within 72 hours because I  have violated law and something, but actually I have never done that before. So I google it and found it was a scam to cheat my money. Now how can I unlock my computer from Politiet Norge Virus?
