Create an Avast Rescue Disk from another machine with Avast installed. Then boot the affected PC from that.
Reboot, install and run MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware and adwCleaner after that.0 -
He managed to shut pc down and router, when he started them again all was well, I did tell him to set up some kind of security as suggested by you all.
Thanks for your input.
