    I find it very difficult to trust your information. The program you claim to remove wants me to buy their program. To get rid of it, I’m supposed to buy yours! Sorry, you do not impress me as any more trustworthy than the pc security guardian program itself. NO SALE

      Steven – this is up to you. You can also try other programs, that remove it for free, but do not offer free limited protection. Also, You can expand each detection of Spyware Doctor, and delete the file manually.

    Im finding it difficult to stop and erase this PC Guardian and I would like for you to remove it from my pc. I don’t think that I should have to be the one to go in and remove, download or anything to have this removed. Your administration should remove this, so remove please. I will not purchase this software due to I already have one installed.

    I had this on my computer. I have McAfee and the tech did a remote view and cleaned it out. This thing was embedded deep in my system but he got it. Took over an hour to the tune of $90. It was worth it though, a big headache that is now gone.
