I think the data for the virus got removed, but just the name still shows up. It shows up as "<1MB" and before it was bigger. Am I safe or should I continue to try and remove the rest of it (name, version number)The best way to remove viruses is to remove the hard-drive and scan it using a separate computer since malware and crap can sometimes interfere with your virus scanner if you are running it from the OS that had been infected.
Guy just backup your important stuff and do a fresh install after formatting and deleting the partitions during a "custom" installation then activate with a tool from a trusted uploader on the pirate bay. Your making this way harder than it should be + your pc is weak you should be using windows 8.1 or 10.
I personally use Windows 7 OEM brander by Orbit for machines that I repair for friends and/or 'customers'.I'm not going to link it here because it would be against the forum rules (this goes for everyone else, too) but look up "Windows 7 Loader by Daz" on Google. That's pretty much the de-facto Windows 7 SLIC spoofing loader that everyone uses.
Edit - that video didn't work because it's for Windows XP
Yeah this is a little side job of mine, but shshshshh. 
You lose that privilege when you commit a crime.
Not really, I used to pirate stuff. I deserved every bit of crap I got for it, and more.
Most people pirate Windows.You lose that privilege when you commit a crime.

People pointed out that I was breaking the law, less respect in the community (not this one, it was a long time ago), people refusing to help me, etc.
I think most people get it free as OEM, but I don't have any stats to back that up. Regardless, that makes you sound like a teenager telling his mother that "everybody else was doing it."
Which feature are removed if not activated past 30 days?
I know it's not what you mean, but there are actually free, legal, official ISO downloads for all Windows versions. If you don't have a product key, they act as trials though.
As far as I'm aware, the only thing that happens is that it won't be able to use Windows Update anymore (so possible security risks) and it'll nag you to buy it. I might be mistaken though. Also, there's a fair chance it'll work anyway.
And the other parts I discussed? I know the ISOs are legal, but if, for some reason, your product key somehow runs out of uses, then what is the protocol? Surely, one shouldn't have to spend $80 for an OS Microsoft no longer supports (AFAIK, Windows 7 support will end soon, if not it already has). I am curious as to how two partitions of Windows 7 would work on the same machine.
All I can say on that is that it won't work for Windows 8.1 if you try to run it in a VM. Before upgrading to Windows 10, I installed my running copy of 8.1 as a virtual machine. I thought it would detect that it's all the same hardware and work fine, but it gave me a warning about it already being on another machine.
Actually it's easier to have a genuine windows than pirating it. Check if your school or your work has some kind of promotion: most of the schools, universities, colleges and workplaces in the world have some agreements with Microsoft to give students/workers a genuine windows license
It probably won't end for another 7-8 years. Vista is still actively supported.
