    hello,

    This started about 5 days prior to this post. i had my browser open while playing eve-online, and all the sudden i get this spyware protect 2009 thing popping up and going ballistic. I mistakenly clicked on the popup above my toolbar, thinking it was my anti-virus detecting the spyware 2009 program. It was not. It was the malware's popup...After that, my trend micro found 2 trojans. It said it had cleaned them, but they must have re-appeared.
    I found this sysguard.exe program I didn't recognize then next day, when the spyware protect came up again, leading me to believe that this was the root of my problems.
    Well, anyways, after a few anti-virus/spyware removal tools and alot of cursing. I went and deleted this sysguard.exe myself and at least one of it's registeries. I didnt believe that this solved the problem completly, because my comp was still slower than norm.
    My search led me here. after following the READ & RUN ME FIRST guide, I found i still had at least one trojan.

    After running the slew of programs you have suggested, my machine is running significantly faster, but i am not sure if my drive is clean of this bug. I will attach my logs as asked, Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Why are you running this PC with no protection software installed?

    Your logs are clean but we have one more minor item to take care of before final instructions.

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
    O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
