Hi
Spyguard 2009 has loaded itself onto my pc. When I try to follow any link to an anti spyware website, internet explorer won't work. Also tried to download something from Microsoft this won't work either! Please help!!

Download SuperAntiSpyware from here since you might not be able to get to its main site http://www.filehippo.com/download_s... and then download malwarebytes antimalware from here http://www.download.com/Malwarebyte... again since maybe you cant get to its main site. After you downlaod them run them in the same order. This should fix you up.

Thanks,

Chris

Please first use the links I provided. I assume that this may not be the only spyware on your system so removing manually would just cost you extra time and still spyware may exist.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi

Thanks so much for your advice. Unfortunately when I'd downloaded and tried to run super spyware and then malware, neither of them would work!! I am not confident enough to try to remove it manaully. Don't suppose you have any other suggestions?
Thanks again.

Im not sure if you mean the didnt install or the wouldnt run after install but never the ess download smitfraud fix from http://siri.geekstogo.com/Smitfraud... if it does not run change its name by right clicking on it and choosing rename and then name it anything you like and then try to run it. You can do the same for superantispyware and malwarebytes. Let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

this application is totally useless and what is more - dangerous. Follow this removal instructions: http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-spy...
There is a list of files that must be deleted.

Good luck!

I still recommend the manual removal. As S Jam cleared out, spyguard blocks antispyware programs, so you can only count on either manual removal or reinstalling windows.
