Does anyone know if Personal Guard 2009 is coming in on Windows Update? My mother's computer suddenly got it today so I reformatted the hard drive (better safe than sorry), then did my updates, and guess what showed back up?!!
I've Googled it and there seem to be a lot of inquiries about removing it this past week, so I was just wondering if it might be piggybacking on windows updates.
It is especially weird because my parents are VERY download-phobic so I know they didn't install it...and I sure didn't install it..heck, Windows Updates was all I had done before it showed up (That and my anti-virus of course)
