YOu never know when these things will pop up. I’m a savy user, and have both virus protection (schedule a scan each day), and run a “spycheck” occasionally. I guess I wasn’t paying complete attention to messages on the computer, and ended up getting this POS on my laptop.. I followed the manual instructions and only found one file, c:/windows/sysguard.exe , and one registry entry, AvScan. But, had to go into safe mode to get rid of the sysguard.exe. Did not find any of the other executables on my system. I guess that the amount of files found on the system is based on how panicked one gets. I figured early on it was some sort of malware.
