Trojans locking a pc

My 80 year old father rang just to say that he received a message on his pc, threatening to close his pc so it na not go and buy a few cards to pay to access some * site (that he may or may not have consulted?). He went to look for the card, but luckily the guy in the shop told him not to do so. He was lucky in that regard, except that now he has a pc that does not start. He gets just apparently a blank screen. I know, that I'm not with him and his knowledge of pc is limited so can't really explain what happened. It is very panicking and a very worried about how to solve this problem. I'll make him visit the weekend to try to resolve this, but do not know what to expect or where to start. Help would be welcome.

Hello

Really need the name of the Malware that did this as disposal methods vary.

You can try this method.

Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

See you soon.
