How to remove Vista Internet Security 2012

[brian]

I mentioned here about how to remove Win 7 home security - but it appears there are a number of variations of these.

Another one also doing the rounds is Vista Internet Security 2012, which is basically the same program, just with a different name.

As before, it will try and prevent you accessing the internet by displaying fake firewall messages for IE and Firefox, and clicking on any program to run instead causes a fake infection warning to flash up.

Again, very distressing, and looks as though your computer has been locked down by the spyware - however, removal is fairly simple, so don't panic.

Instructionsto remove an infection of Vista Internet Security 2012 are:

• From an uninfected computer, download the file FIXNCR.reg and save to a USB stick, CD, or similar removable media
• Insert media into the affected computer and double click on FIXNCR.reg

This should help clear your registry enough to allow relatively normal operation of your PC – enough at least to get the Win 7 Home Security 2012 malware removed.

• Download RKill to your infected computer’s desktop
• Now double-click the desktop icon for RKill – this should stop the malware from running.

But do not restart your PC yet!

• Now download the latest version of MalwareBytes and run it on the infected machine – do a full scan

This should allow you to quarrantine the source program for the malware, and remove it.


And now your PC should be clear.
