This piece of software is maddening. Why cannot the writer(s) lend their talent to good and not to the world of the seedy.
I have spent over a week trying all the methods on various web-site to remove it and I am now going to re-format.
We got infected when my daughter downloaded a free game.
There should be a swat team that can go anywhere and hunt these buttheads down. This installed itself when I was getting a wallpaper picture from a site that I’ve used before with no problems. When I tried to get into the registry to stop it, I found that the administrative rights had been disabled so I could not prevent it from reinstalling itself. You definitely need a program that can get in to the registry as well as hunt the files down to get rid of it. That is what I did and it is gone. I hope these people that wrote it burn in hell.
You have presented how to delete files this virus leaves on the computer, but there is still something running that keeps reinstalling the virus. I DOS window flashes up for a second once in a while and the files are all reinstalled. How can we stop that DOS program from running periodically? I believe it is related to the bogus “Windows Security Center” popping up all the time.
Can you help?
thanks,

This rouge spyware has driven me nut for weeks, and i have tried many anti-spywares available out there, but none can successfully removed it. It reinstalls itself. I really want to shoot in the head of that rouge spyware’s designer
Here is how to get rid of this piece of crap.
This virus wont let you run the malware software that you need to remove it so you have to do the following, it worked perfectly for me.
1. On an uninfected PC download Malwarebytes’ anti-malware (you can google and download from CNET, its free). Then download the UPDATE.
2. Save both files to a memory stick. Boot the infected PC in SAFE MODE then copy both files to the Desktop of the infected PC.
3. Once the files are copied to your desktop Spyware Guard will keep it from installing so right click on the files and change the names of both files to something else I used dome.exe and domi.exe
4. Click and install the newly renamed Malwarebytes program. It will now run since its been renamed. Take note of what directory that you put it in, your going to need that in a minute.
5. Once it installs, believe it or not this piece of Sh*t virus still wont let it run so you have to go into the directory that you installed in into, typically: Program Files/Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and rename the .exe file, I think it’s mbam.exe, to something else, I used dome.exe Then click on the newly renamed file, it will now run.
6. Once Malwarebytes loads go to your desktop and click the update file that you renamed earlier to load the updates.
7. Now run the scan. It will find a bunch of trash related to Spyware Guard 2008. When the scan finishes click the button that removes the spyware. It will probably find some files that it cannot remove until you reboot.
8. Reboot and Spyware Guard 2008 will be gone.
This worked perfectly for me. GOOD LUCK.

If anyone is having the following problem this can help… If you cannot download malware bytes, or if you can download malware bytes but the spyware guard virus is not allowing it to run, or it is not allowing you to install malware bytes here is the solution.
Download malware bytes onto a usb drive
Change the name of the installer to 123.exe
While trying to install the program if it continually freezes up, go to task manager and keep ending the 123 process. Don’t worry it will just continue the installation even if you have to do it several times.
After installation, got to C:\Programs\Maleware bytes anti maleware, then change the mbam.exe to Test.exe. Then you can run it but do not do the web update. You do not need the update to remove spyware guard.
Now when it is done scanning remove all of the found threats. Restart, and then do the update and rescan with a full scan to remove eveything else.
See… Spyware guard 2008 and up has been updated to not allow mbam to run. It also stops many of the other software applications that are used to remove this rogue virus but you can use this same proceedure on all of the spyware removal programs and spyware guard will not know what it is because whatever you name the exe file that is how it will show up in the processes. For example, naming mbam Test.exe, will make it show up in task manager as Test.exe and spyware guard does not know what Test.exe is. And the great thing is that you can name it anything so Spyware guard will be hard pressed to stop anything from running then. Hope this helps put a stop to them morons that put spyware guard out there.
I had the spyware guard 8 on my computer, but I follow #6 procedure & it worked. But after all said & done my computer seems slow getting on to sites or anything really & I have cable. Does anyone have any idea how or what to do to speed it up or what to do? Thanks all for the spyware help!!

omg this keeps poppin up!!!!! i cant stop it from poppin up on my pc i tried deleting it but it came back!!!!i hate whoevr made this shitty program!
Guy,
I would work to remove the files which are reinstall the program. After you remove those files, then the program can stop reinstalling itself.
To make it stop coming up when the computer starts, you can use msconfig to remove it from startup.
Generally, the program is downloaded through a trojan downloader such as trojan zlob. You need to remove that trojan and then work to remove the program itself.
Good Luck!
