Infection by fake AV virus
Visiting a friend who is massively infected by fake AV scan. All of his files are hidden and nothing will run. I just ran bootable Windows Defender Offline which appears to have found nothing. System Restore is infected back a few days although there are more points to go back further. Any advice on where to go from here?
I have ComboFix and Unhide programs but don't know how to install them when it's locked up like this.
It's Vista so I'm inclined not to spend much time before copying out data to wipe and install Win7.
