PSGuard is Evil!!!

If you see ANYTHING that has to do with PSGuard, run like crazy. This horrible piece of malware will take over your desktop, flood you with popups, create havoc in your registry and all the while pose as a "spyware-removal" tool. If you even think this garbage is trying to infect your machine, literally reach over and pull the plug from the wall socket as fast as possible. NO permissions asked here, they just infect. Why does our government let these creeps exist? Here is a list of needed actions that will help you start repairing an infected PC:

This is only the beginning. Paretologic Labs has a tool called XoftSpy they claim will remove this dungware. They will even scan your PC for free. To use the removal software it will cost you. This is NOT freeware or shareware. It's $39.95 for a single home PC and and pricing varies on multiple license. It wasn't used in this case. Instead I went to several forums, read their advice and hacked away at the registry, files, etc., for several days. Search for PSGuard and read about the nightmares people have encountered. Google Search produced 21,000 hits about this cretinware. If I ever am elected emporer of the known universe these Shudder Global Limited (parent company of PSGuard) jerks will be some of the first hurled into the volcano. Shudder my ass! I am going to take my meds and rest now.
