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!!!!
