I appreciate you guys posting "suggestions" and "fixes", but none of them are
working. every single link I have seen anyone provide on all the forums I have looked at in an attempt to get rid of Spyware Guard 2008 has been BLOCKED. the program blocks links to sites that will let you download spyware killers. I had a friend send me the killer programs via AOL Instant Messenger, thus circumventing the blocked links, but once I downloaded the programs from him and tried to run them, they wouldn't open. also blocked. one website provided "manual removal instructions" for Spyware Guard 2008, and my friend, who is much more computer literate than I am, walked me through all the steps. I restarted my computer...and Spyware Guard 2008 STILL works! there is no getting rid of this damned thing! if anyone out there has some real solutions that actually work, please post them here. again, the program is Spyware Guard 2008. I will sue the bejesus out of the clowns behind this program if I can ever find out who they are. p.s. in the process of typing this post, Spyware Guard 2008 popped up about 6 or 8 times.

If you don't have the ability to do this, you'll need to take your machine to a local computer professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places. The alternative is to back up your data and clean-install Windows.
