Antivirus8 or av8.exe virus

Hi, my computer started displaying popups of a program called Antivirus8 and some times av8.exe. although i did not download or installed it but it claimed to be my protection tool and it asked me to pay for its license so it would remove viruses from my computer. someone suggested me to remove this antivirus 8 as its a fake software. i instaled malware bytes, super antispyware and spy hunter, they did not work for me. now a friend told me to go to this website

and remove the antivirus 8 virus myself manually. this site tells the method to remove the virus but the problem is that i cant access to task maanger and registry editor. how do i get to them, thanks

Removal tools (or instructions for manual removal) are no solution to an infection, particularly not with malware that may download more malware or may give an attacker remote access. One can never be sure what else was modified on the system and thus can never be certain that the malware was removed entirely.
