This helps the scamware to start as soon as PC is rebooted and then display its trustworthy looking alerts and scanners.

Once the Registry gets modified, the program will warn you about viruses detected in such form of pop up ads:
Privacy threat!
Spyware intrusion detected. Your system is infected. System integrity is at risk. Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords. Click here to perform a security repair.
Stealth intrusion!
Infection detected in the background. Your computer is now attacked by spyware and rogue software. Eliminate the infection safely, perform a security scan and deletion now.

Security Hole Detected!
A program is trying to exploit Windows security holes! Passwords and sensitive data may be stolen. Do you want to block this attack?

I’ve downloaded both Malwarebytes and Spyware Doctor, however when trying to launch either of them I get an error prompt that reads ” Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access item.” Where do I go from here in removing Vista Internet Security 2012?
Michael: try using fake registration code before that. also, run
cacls [Path to program] /G Everyone:F
this should make program accessible again.
Thank you solo much!
the key code is invaild, is there another key i can use.? cuz my laptop is in severe in risk right now
Can’t access internet because of problem, therefore of course can not get rid of problem using the above steps
yes the same goes with me mike i can’t ,and i was dumb enough to actually purchase the program,then when i purchased it it says please contact support to activate and then a screen pops up and makes u put in your name email then he message,still didn’t hear anything nor did i get a confirmation of the purchase in my email,sent up warning flags in my head,so i contacted windows and ended up going in safe mode ,got on to logmein.com/support or something like that and the tech online got my info gave him access to my computer and after a few minutes my computer just shut down for no reason ,my computer was fully charged,and it did not come back on.should i just call my bank and have them decline the payment,and just go buy norton software fro the store
when i restarted it in safe mode with networking it started doing the same thing pop ups galore
the 3425 code worked when i entered it
@Mike
Try this, It helped me: Go to the Start Menu–>All Programs–> Accessories–> System Tools–> Internet Explorer (with no add ons)
I was then able to download spydoctor because I could access the internet. I hope that helps.
I’m irritated! I keep typing “how do you get rid of “stupid” vista security 2012 alert!!” but nothing that really “helps” comes up! And when I try what people say gets rid of it IT DOESN’T FRIKIN WORK! I tried the f8 thing to go into safe mode then rebooting that was crap! Now bleepingcomputer says I should download malawarbytes and that it would actually delete it all! I tried it …it seemed to work for a while. But when I got on the internet 1 hour later that stupid virus came popping back up! Exiting me out of my internet explorer! GOSH ISN’T THERE ANY GOOD HELP AROUND?! If I ever meet the #$%@#$ who created the virus I’m gonna… @#$%&**%$#!!!
Thanx for the info everyone! The vista 2012 has got my computer. I got on my phone to look up information. I was able to get on Internet from the start/accessories and bought the spy doctor. I am trying to download it, but it won’t download. I keep getting alerts from the vista 2012 ……what should I do now?
Kidversion: Calm down. MBAM might not have trojan downloader in their DB, which re-downloads parasite OR you get reinfected. get Anti-Malware program with real time protection, not remover only.
I used the code a couple of weeks ago, but it appears to have affected my Task manager to the point where it will not open. I have to run all my programs as administrator. I still see that win 7 home security 2012 is still on my system. How do I get rid of it permanently. Please help!
I got hit with it 3 days after christmas at work, and I did ALL the above steps, and thus far I am having no more problems. I am currently running a full scan with the malwarebytes..soo we will see what happens..but at least when I rebooted out of safe mode the “security” icon was no longer in the task bar by my clock. I am hoping that is a good sign. It was nice having a second laptop on the premisis to find this information. Thank you soo much for your services.
So how does one access “safe mode”? and… the Vista Internet Security 2012 still has the icon showing up on the taskbar next to the clock on the bottom right hand corner of my screen. I already installed SpyDoctor but how do I permanently remove the Vista Internet Security 2012 from my computer?? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks.

Update Spyware Doctor, contact their support in case of upldated version of Vista Internet Security – you do not need safe mode if you CAN install programs.
hi admin … My laptop was attacked by vista Internet security 2012. I tried the registration keys and one of them worked. However the annoying system Icon remained even after the date change! Firefox or IE would not load so i couldnt download any anti malware! I panicked and as soon as I was able to access my programmes I did system restore to 5 days ago! now everything related to VIS2012 is gone but I cannot connect to my wireless network at all! it’s a shared network and other computers can connect without problem! what should I do now? any help is much appreciated! many thanks and happy new year all!
SKC download on other PC and move using usb drive TDSS Killer from kaspersky’s page. Scan with it. Check if proxy server is present on your browser, disable it.
Hi admin.. I scanned with TDSS and there were no threats found. I have since ran malwarebytes anti malware on my laptop as well and it found many threats which I quarantined. On CMD prompt when I run ipconfig command there is no ‘default gateway’ listed! is there any other way I can let it find a gateway!? many thanks
I have this same malware in my computer. These types of malware won’t let you download any protection. Some won’t even let u go on the internet. I had a bad one in the pass,that did the same thing.I had a extra computer so I went and download a virus protector , off the good computer and I download it on my Ipod ,then I connect my ipod to the bad computer, then I downloaded the program on to my bad computer ,I was able to install the program and get rid of the virus.going to try doing it again,hopefully this works.
SCK . Default gateway depends on your network configuration, usually same as your IP except the last number. You should edit your TCP/IP protocol settings.
The tcp/ip settings are all automatic. when I try ipconfig/renew it keep saying media is disconnected! however my wireless is enabled and the connection says successfully connected but only local connectivity! have no idea what is going on with this one 🙁
I had this happen to my laptop twice in the past week … as always, I cursed in annoyance and reset my system to the last point of system restore — it has always worked for me and, of course, I kept a mental note as to what sites to avoid now.
But just in case, I will dl spydoc … thanks for this very informative article!
I bevile i have gotten ride of the virus but i can’t open anything thats .exe i have to run as admin and somtimes that doesnt work help please!!!!!!
Kayso i’v tried EVERYTHING.. but everything requires me to purchase whateveer in order to fix the download i need help!!
Miranda: Scan with SD. Delete files it finds manually, or rename them (if you can’t delete).
Try MBAM / Hitman pro too.
Have had the same problem as many others. I thank for the tip to set the calender in future time and now I am able to work with windows defender and AVL to get this bloody virus hopefully out. Will report later if all is ok
