    I used remove function from control panel. Winiguard is gone, but not the pop-up windows Tried manual removal, but none of the line items are in my system. Don't want to spend $$ for a malware removal tool if I can do it myself. This one is stubborn.

    Winiguard won't go

    Several people are experiencing the same problem. Winiguard has been removed, but po-ups continue; one offering to sell winiguard; the other LOOKS like a windows alert - low on memory. Can anyone find the line item that keeps this on my machine, I have run eight spyware programs; followed this forum instructions on sbybot and spyware blaster, no help. HELP!!!!

    Are we under attack???

    Suddenly, everyone is having trouble. i've never had this much trouble. Have followed to a "T" all malware procedures, have spybot, spyware blaster, and spyware defender now, I've scanned with every free and pay scanner I can find, but cannot remove two pop-ups; one looks like MS "you are low on memory, and the other reports an attack from the ether [phoney spyware product] Winiguard, removed by the add/remove program, but these popups remain, and they interfere randomly. Anyone else with this one? has anyone gotten rid of these pop-ups ???

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please stop creating multiple threads for the same problem. Your 3 threads were merged into one thread. Everything you needed to do was posted in the sticky threads in the forum. All you had to do was read them. But here are the details of what to do.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
