You may have to download the superantispyware and malwarebytes tools for him and transfer them across on a usb stick. If you do this, be careful. I've come across a couple of 'nasties' recently that actually write stuff back to the usb stick to try and cross-infect. Probably best to use a stick that can be blanked after use.

Re: Security tool
Sometimes this will block Malware Bytes and other software running.
You will need to launch a program called RKill available at the link below that will stop all processes of this virus and let you continue cleaning your system.
I have used the method below to clean several machines of this annoying virus:

Re: Security tool
You want to run RKill as soon as you enter Windows. Don't wait for anything else to load up such as the sodding virus.

Re: Security tool
tried getting rid of this on a mates system and it took a lot of windows files with it and just ended up with a complete wipe and reload in the end.
