OK I got the solution.

My laptop just got infected. The message is this (note the mis-spelling):

----------
Your computer is infected!
Windows has detected spyware infection.
It is recomended to use special antispyware tools to pervent data loss.
Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.

I tried McAffe, Ad-ware, Spybot, AVG ==> NOTHING WORKS.

Then, I used Malwarebytes it is now removed ==> IT WORKS!!!!

I'm actually going through the same problem, and using Norton anti-virus, and spy-subtract spyway has failed to get rid of the pop-up box.  Any suggestions?

i am working on a friends computer that has the same problem. I have used mcafee and adaware to try to clean up the computer but it has not been successful. At first the spyware had made setting changes that made the task manager inoperable so that pressing alt control delete would just bring up a box saying that i didn't have administrative priveleges to access the task manager. After multiple scans from mcafee i was able to fix the task manager problem but it still tells me when i make changes to the computer such as disabling start up services on msconfig that i dont have admistrative rights to make the changes. Another perplexinging thing is that somehow the spyware has disable the active scanning engine of macafees and everytime i try to manually start the scanning engine it says that things are wrong with macafee but i have already done a full reinstall of macafee but the spyware has disable this component of the antivirus and when i run adaware it finds nothing. Any thoughts or suggestions on what i should do to fix this problem?
The specs for the computer are pentium 4 windows xp with all windows updates and i have been using a totally up to date macafee antivirus suite and the most up to date adaware.

I went into windows, regedit and did a 'find' for guardpro.  it will find several pointing to that program in a run folder, you'' recognize the program, delete the entry.  There will be several of these in the registry, that will stop the computer from loading it when it boots up.  That's what I did.  Now I'm looking for a reliable way to get the program off my system.

Do a system restore by going to "start" then "all programs" then "accessories" then go under "system tools" then "system restore." Go to the latest restore point that you could go to to restore your computer to an earlier date so that it can take out the stinkin' spyware. If that doesn't work then my only option would be to do a whole "system recovery" which will remove anything software you may have installed or files after the purchase of your computer by restarting your computer and pressing on F10 while the computer is rebooting. Then just follow the instructions on how to restore your computer. Hope this helps. Let me know.

First turn on the PC in Secure mode with network mode and download malwarebytes and try update before the virus take control again after restart the PC en secure mode (not secure mode with network) and run malware bytes, then restart in normal mode without internet and run norton antivirus.

It's a rogue virus (fake antivirus). It says to download fake software that says you have more than 1000 security breaches, viruses, etc (which don't exist). It also says you have to pay for the full version to remove these "viruses". It's aimed at taking your money so if you have no security program it's probably a fake antivirus, if you have antivirus software check to see if they work, if not it's probaly a fake antivirus.

Disconnect your computer to your wireless network (if you have one) if you suspect any virus, fake antivirus included has infected your computer.
