Hi and thank you for your article on this.
I unfortunately have been infected, have manually
removed all the associated files, but the pop-up
still exists. The bigger problem is that I absolutely
cannot run or install any programs. If I double-click
any program to begin, such as the Malwarebyte's,
I get an initial 'hourglass' then nothing. So I cannot
run anything to clean me up, even in Safe Mode.
I am contemplating either an expensive trip to the
local computer shop, or a re-install of XP. Also of concern
is that my LAN connection seems to have gotten shot as
well. And opening Explorer always launches Spyware Guard again.
Any help is appreciated, such as maybe I can launch Malwarebytes
from a DOS prompt? But don't know how. Thank you.
