PSGuard, another mosquito biting at the butt of humanity

Migrating the links about PSGuard removal from yesterday's post into the Cybersouth Links list will be done soon. They'll be listed in bold type as are the other malware fixes on this page. As information is acquired it will be posted.

Thanks to everyone for their inquiries and support. One emailer said the latest version of Spybot Search & Destroy that has been updated will remove this trash. Another recommended Spysweeper, which is a non-free tool from Webroot. Also, a fellow tech that is extremely knowledgeable verified that XoftSpy will work if you want to spend the money.

Tutorials devoted to installation and usage of several spyware-prevention utilities are still being constructed. Each tutorial will have screen shots. Bear with me, these things take time, especially when they are being developed by a single person that still has to devote most of the waking day to field work and bench time.

If you have browsed the links from yesterday then you've noticed a general consensus about how to obliterate PSGuard. Proceed with caution. Take your time. And please, please share any information you gain with us. Inquiring minds wanna know. In the meantime, here's another really good link to help take out the PSGuard garbage -> Spyware Removal Guideline.
