How to remove Win 7 anti-virus2011

Since you have mentioned about the existence of a LAN, I believe you have other computers. What you need to do is disconnect the hard drive of the infected computer and connect it to another computer either as a slave or externally using an external USB housing? Using Windows Explorer, you should be able to locate the application (Win 7 anti-virus) and the folder it resides in and then just delete that root folder.

You may also try and use another antivirus from a computer on the LAN apart from Norton and see whether it’s detected. Most of these malware doesn’t install in the Program Files folder but will install themselves in very awkward folders and you need to know where they have installed.
