However Malware-Bytes Antimalware (MBAM) is a good suggestion but should be followed up by SuperAntiSpyware.

Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 perhaps, I was under the impression that spywareguard.com and sg9scanner.com and javacoolsoftware.com\spywaregaurd were all the same. but it seems that they are not. based on a lookup, the data on sg9scanner is far from legit: http://whois.domaintools.com/sg9scanner.com and the site for spywaregaurd.com has been entered in the hosts file by spybot as a malicious site: http://whois.domaintools.com/spywareguard.com on the other hand it seems that the one by javacool software seems to be a reputable anti spyware program, though it is also called spyware gaurd. anyone have any thoughts about the above programs? is it likely that people are having issues with the program by spywareguard.com and sg9scanner and not the one from javacool software? -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces " db ´¯`·.. ><)))º>` .. ." <databaseben at hotmail dot com> wrote in message news:D739B52B-349B-43A2-9F7A-27DA0467CEB7@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > frankly, I think the > fbi should be investigating > the makers of spyware > guard. > > does anyone have > additional details about > this company and program? > > -- > > db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> > DatabaseBen, Retired Professional > - Systems Analyst > - Database Developer > - Accountancy > - Veteran of the Armed Forces > > > > "Bear" <Bear@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:35A71F86-A2AF-44E9-AA57-04445B2D71E2@microsoft.com...<span style="color:green"> >> Does anyone know how to get rid of this.
