Vista Antivirus 2012
Vista Antivirus 2012 Description
Vista Antivirus 2012 is a rogue antivirus program that attacks your web browser and other applications, while also pretending to have anti-virus functions. All alerts, warnings and system scan results from Vista Antivirus 2012 are faked, to give a false impression of numerous infections. Avoid purchasing Vista Antivirus 2012 or even visiting the Vista Antivirus 2012 website, since this website may make other attacks on your computer. Quality anti-virus programs should have little difficulty in removing Vista Antivirus 2012, if Vista Antivirus 2012 isn’t active during the system scan.Vista Antivirus 2012: Out a Year Early to Threaten Your Computer
Vista Antivirus 2012 uses similar attacks to other typical fake security programs, and even uses code similar to that of threats like XP Home Security 2012, XP Antivirus 2012, Win 7 Anti-Spyware 2012 and Win 7 Total Security 2012. Rogue security programs like Vista Antivirus 2012 and its relatives are typically aided in opening infection by Trojans; the presence of Vista Antivirus 2012 usually indicates that a Trojan is also on the computer and is secretly responsible for installing Vista Antivirus 2012.
Like most other rogue security programs, Vista Antivirus 2012 can’t find or delete viruses and other threats from your PC. Despite this, Vista Antivirus 2012 will still pretend to find infections on your computer in simulated system scans, and may also create fake warning messages.
Vista Antivirus 2012 errors may also appear when Vista Antivirus 2012 blocks a program from running. Although the pop-up alert that Vista Antivirus 2012 uses will tell you that the program is infected, the real reason that Vista Antivirus 2012 is blocking it is to prevent you from accessing anti-malware and system diagnostic features.
How to Get Vista Antivirus 2012 Off Your Computer and Out of Your Browser
Besides all the other problems Vista Antivirus 2012 creates, Vista Antivirus 2012 may also hijack your web browser. Browser hijacks are difficult to stop without removing Vista Antivirus 2012 or any other PC threat that might be causing them. Hijacks are known for:
- Redirecting your browser to malicious websites.
- Changing your search results.
- Altering your homepage settings.
- Creating pop-ups and advertisements.
- Using fake ‘dangerous website’ error screens.
- Redirecting you away from safe websites that could help you delete Vista Antivirus 2012 and other threats to your PC.
Despite the wide range of problems a browser hijack can cause, getting rid of these attacks is fairly simple. Safe Mode or a CD-based system boot will stop Vista Antivirus 2012 from launching in the first place, and prevent any hijacks from occurring. You can follow this up by removing Vista Antivirus 2012 entirely with the help of the right security scanner.

I’d love to try Alfred’s method, but the right click on my laptop is busted.
Wait so how do you remove it without downloading any other antivirus thing
Go to your antivirus program in your program files folder and right click on the .exe. Run the program as an administrator. Update your program and then scan. Vista virus should be killed after the scan. Download exehelper.exe and run it. You need to run this tiny utility to restore your old settings. Vista virus will alter your computer settings. Even if the virus is gone, the settings it imposed will still be there. This is why exehelper is very important.

I had luck opening files as as administrator. Right click, choose run as administrator. It seems the fake antivirus wasn\’t able to stop that.
Pin my tail and call me a doenky, that really helped.
I have this awful thing.
Only problem is, it’s already way ahead of these remedies, IE: task manager has been disabled. And worse, when I try to fix the registry (with FixNCR) via USB drive, it simply powers down my computer.
Any suggestions on a work-around?
