PSGuard Removal

After posting about the horrors of PSGuard many inquiries have been made as to how it was eradicated. Gosh, this was a two day trial and error. Memory did not serve me well during those two days.. However, several of the links were saved concerning the removal of this garbage. Here they are:

Geeks to Go

BleepingComputer.com

Computing.net

MajorGeeksForum

Avast!WebForum

All these links are forums. They were found using Google. I know this is not an instant cure, but it's what was used when cleaning the PSGuard infected machine that just crossed my bench. If you are not comfortable editing a registry, manipulating files, etc., be VERY careful when using tools like HiJackThis or Killdisk. They are great utilities and also very powerful. One wrong step can mean disaster. Please follow instructions. I am still looking for a FREE tool that will remove PSGuard and if someone knows of one please comment or email. As always, I'll gladly respond to your email. Hope this helps.
