oh ffs. help please, think mum downloaded a virus

So she calls me last night and tells me she keeps getting popups and cant get the laptop working right.

Right, she's got two warning symbols on this bottom bar, one looks like a legit windows thing the other doesn't. the shifty looking one is from antispyware2008xp.com, the not so shifty is linking me to http://www.helpsupportcenter.com/5bd...9e44c63/edem//


It's doing my tits in, I can only type four words at a time before the popup comes back

any help appreciated

Manual removal instructions (oddly enough, typing - antispyware2008xp.com removal - into google has that come up on the front page)
