Hello,
i have windows vista and w I downloaded this virus called dr guard. and i just i tried to remove the dr. guard by using mccafe. Then i left my computer while mc cafe was scanning it. When i came back the popups and the rest of the symptoms where gone. When i tried to open any file it either asked me, which program should i run it with, or that the file was lost. If somebody knows how to fix it, please tell me, Help!!!!

Do not reboot your machine as the processes will be reanimated.

Next download Malwarebyte to your desktop:
