win7 virus cant remove

[phazerh]

On my dads laptop he downloaded this win7 antivirus, a little after he started having some computer problems. so i looked at it and soon realized that it was a fake antivirus, but it has been harming the computer now i cant even connect to the internet on it. ive tried everything, i uploaded norton 360 did several scans but it doesnt get rid of it, i even a full system restore but it just restarts before i can actually do it. Any suggestion?? the laptop is an hp mini 110

Hey I have had a similar virus on my machine and let me tell you that it is a nasty bugger. But on the bright side there is a solution.

Go to this website on a different comp download the things it tells you on a flash drive and transfer them to the infected comp.
Remove Win 7 Antispyware 2012 and Vista Antivirus 2012 name changing rogue (Uninstall Guide)

If you follow the directions exactly it should fix the prob.

It did for me

Its name should be "Win 7 antivirus 2012"

If i am correct

I've used this same strategy on a number of computers lately (fortunately not my own).

It works.
