    Hi I am new to this forum
    I am having a major problem with
    Spywareguard - how can you uninstall or turn off the
    browser protection alert window (remove/keep the BHO)

    I can not install the newer version (2,2) because the
    browser alert has spazed out and is continuously
    throwing up alert windows

    can anyone offer any suggestions - thanks :rolleyes:

    Look in ad/remove programs.

    Locate Spywareguard.

    Uninstall it.

    Why is it bothering you tho? Its a good helper in keeping safe from spyware!

    I have been attacked by a browser bug which keeps trying
    to change my internet explorer settings.
    I can not upgrade to a newer version or exit because the
    popup alert is constantly on. How can I change the settings
    to stop the pop up - this will be only temporary as I am trying
    the load the update version inmediately afterwards.

    ps. I also have the new version of spybot & destroy running which is also
    protecting me from browser bugs.

    pps this is happening even when not connected to the web
    ie. originating from my own hard drive.

    should I get some sort of vrus cleaner (Nortons etc.)
    can anyone suggest a suitable programme to get rid
    of browser bugs ?

    Casacamo :confused:

    [​IMG] Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    [​IMG] Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    [​IMG] Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.
