    Sorry I am contacting you guys so soon after you just help me fix my last problem. I was the person who posted the thread titled "2 Big Problems" last week and your solution solved me issues. However yesterday I became infected with something called PS Guard and a bunch of related threats. I followed all the steps in the Read Me First tutorial all day yesterday and it did not seem to rid the computer of this PS guard. I am currently contacting you in Safe Mode with Networking because if I boot in normal mode it seems to go to a blue screen that tells me the computer is dumping its physical memory and to reboot. It happens every time. Sorry to bother you guys again but I don't know how this happened. I have just been using job searching sites and have not used limewire since my last problem What is this PS Guard and how can I get rid of it?

    You alread posted at least part of this same message in the other thread thread which is only from yesterday. You should stay in that thread. I don't believe you mentioned PSGuard in that thread though. You should add it to the info.

    I apologize for posting a different thread but actually I am experiencing a different problem. Yesterday I was using safemode with networking but my homepage was still yahoo.com, which is what I set it to after you guys solved my problem last week. Then when I was on careerbuilder.com yesterday all of the sudden I kept getting sent to this psguard spycheck page which kept asking me to run a scan and buy psguard spysweep. I couldn't get out of it no matter what. I rebooted into safemode iwth networking and still have the problem but I was at least able to get onto your site to post this new thread. I apologize for my confusion and will use the other thread from yesterday if that is what is best. Sorry again.

    Yes, work in the other thread since it is so new and follows on the heels of your other problems. And you already have D3m3nt3d working that thread with you so he should be able to pickup where you left off.
