The computer at work has one of those annoying viruses that acts like an anti-virus. I've been tasked with fixing it. I tried removing it in safe mode but couldn't. I'm thinking the best way to fix would be making an anti-virus disk an having it do a boot scan. How do I go about doing this?

If the computer only hosts fun data, you can try to repair it, but if it holds sensible data and business data, I never would feel safe again with the old installation, and thus would choose the Klingon option.

Try Malwarebytes. The most important app every user should have install on their pc imo.

Impossible, computer won't let you do anything.
As far as what's on the computer, just business stuff. Not confidential but I'm pretty sure they don't want to lose it
