Think Point is a very bad antivirus, a scam to strength you to pay for it where as it does not have any kind of the profit to the system. Follow these removal instructions for the Think Point program: 1. Initailly you restart your computer system. After that it will get you to the ThinkPoint window then you press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete to call the task manger or Ctrl+Shift+Escape. (2) Then you click on to the task manager Processes tab. in that right click hotfix.exe process and click End Task. This will terminate the ThinkPoint program. (3) after that through the Run windows run the command explorer.exe and hit OK. A new pane will approach which will be asking you that "Are you sure?" then Type Y and press enter. (4) Then you run Internet Explorer or any supplementary browser and download free of charge anti-malware software. Run a complete system scan and eliminate ThinkPoint from your system.

I was also having the same issue as you said earlier. But now it is completely was able to kill it. Start the system in the Safe Mode through the command prompt. And after that in the command prompt enter the command “regedit”. After performing it navigate the mouse pointer to the given lines below and if you see it then delete it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PAV
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “thinkpoint”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon “Shell” = “%Documents and Settings%\[UserName]\Application Data\hotfix.exe”
In my case I observed the hotfix.exe and removed it. This permitted me to log into my desktop.
Hope this helps.

There are many instances of it: reboot the computer system and after doing the rebooting continually press the F8 key and then pick Safe Mode through Networking. If you encompass a Restore Point previous to the ThinkPoint virus then try that. Or you make use of the wired connection or an additional computer system to download the WiFi drivers from your system maker or device maker to move them to this computer. Hope this helps.
