A question about Advanced Virus Remover?

On my dad's laptop there is a malware program called Advanced Virus Remover. It forces you to pay money to remove a fake virus and I'm having trouble removing it. So far, I've tried Spyware Doctor, and malware bytes. The Advanced Virus Remover blocks me from using a registry deleter or even task manager, even when I've deleted even single file except for AVR10.exe. Is there anyway to get rid of this?

    Advanced Virus Remover can be removed by checking out the link provided, download the FREE infection scanner, and follow the removal instructions you will be given:

    Don’t forget to always keep your antivirus and antispyware applications up to date and fully functional at all times!

    you can download 2 tools: spybot search&destroy and malwarebytes (free version is enough). after you download both of them run a full scan with both tools and hopefully they can find the advanced virus remover program and delete it. don't run both full scans at the same time because your computer may crash.

    Spybot S&D download (click spybot 1.6.2 and download from any site):

    Malwarebytes download:
