Ah! They ARE selling something though! The Better Business Buerau should have authority in a case of Fraud!

Thank you so much! That was the easiest fix. I spent hours deleting registers, programs

Going back on system restore disabled Personal Guard. My malware detection kept isolating the thing, but it kept coming back. I went into the registry, c drive, everywhere. But the system restore worked, and my malware was able to kill it for good.

I had to boot to CD and a file manager program.

I finally removed this by deleting the above files and the files and directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Microsoft AData\*.*

Thanks so much for that comment. That has been the only thing I haven’t tried and it seems to have worked immediately. I couldn’t boot in safemode, but I killed them with KillBox (and told it to unregister it) and it worked. I also deleted the directory and all contents that I found them in. It was under documents & setting, all users, microsoft adata. Everything seems good. I have rebooted sucessfully and haven’t found any sign of it yet (but I am not going to press my luck and say it is a full proof gone LOL).

Unfortunately, criminals aren’t concerned with legality!

I assume you don’t use anti-spyware. Since the removal tool detected the infection, you can find the files and remove them on your own.

Looks like a system restore might have done the trick for me as well. I think the version of the malware I got , actually prevented me from booting into safe mode!

It is illegal.

This is what worked for me. Download the yahoo toolbar(includes yahoo anti spy), run anti spy and then hit CTL+ALT+DEL and kill the personalguard.exe application. Now the anti spy program will run as normal and weed out this spyware. It should be illegal!

Personal Guard 2009 is a computer infection so it can be detected and removed with any reputable spyware remover. In some cases PersonalGuard blocks regular security programs, but you should be able to run a scan in safe mode. The manual removal is also effective, just make sure you delete every thing related to the malware.

If you run windows xp you could do a system restore from a date before you had the virus on your PC – its under start / all programs / accessories / system tools.

i found some of those files/registry things, not all, deleted them… no lan.dll either… after doing that i am getting some random IE popups still and i can’t seem to run malbytes still

this happened i think just from doing a windows update… which uses IE… is there a way I can make windows use only firefox?, and what do i do now since i seem to still be infected since malbytes won’t run

By: Evan

When I attempt to unregister the lan.dll file I get an error message indicating there is no entry point. When I attempt to delete the file, I get an error message that says it can not be deleted b/c it is running.

How do I unregister the file and/or stop it from running?

You can download the tools on another computer and then copy the install file to the infected PC via USB drive.

Personal Guard 2009 is not supposed to appear on Add/remove programs list because it’s not a regular program, it’s a computer infection. Run anti-spyware to delete this malware or use the manual removal tutorial.

I cna’t download the tools because personalguard is blocking both lan and wireless internet connections. Help!

nothing is working.. i’ve tried what it said and it still won’t work. It won’t let me add or remove programs either.

By: Luciana

Luciana — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:47:50 +0000

Try running the downloaded tools in a safe mode. This way Personal Guard 2009 shouldn’t block them.

It appeared on my computer 5 days ago and I’ve spent hours trying to get rid of it!!! The downloadable programs aren’t working. It’s SO frustrating!
