    Hi! Can you help me in removing Windows Active Guard? It is on my PC, bombarding me with pop up warnings, scary scan results and anything annoying you can think of. Not only that, but it also wants me buy its full version to fix my machine.

    Any idea what to do? Thanks!

    I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so. (Do NOT stop once you have run TDSSKiller and mbrcheck, there is more to do ;))

    TDSSkiller - How to run


    Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop
    • Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
    • It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
      • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
    • Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
      • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
      • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
    • Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
    • MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.




    Now do not stop, please continue on with the below instructions too! :)

    Hi and thanks for the detailed explanation. I did the following:
    - run into Safe Mode
    - put a flash drive into my PC with Malwarebytes on it
    - scanned my PC and removed the fake program completely together with all its subfolders

    I also read there removal instructions americanpendulum.com/2012/07/23/remove-windows-active-guard and I read your instructions too. Thank u!

    So are you going to attach any logs from running the procedures or is all well now?
