I've got some damned trojan, sysguard or something. I've been trying to get rid of it manually but its not working. Anyone have a free spyware/adware remover they can recommend?

I had the same thing 2 weeks ago. Pain in the @$$ to remove. I used Malwarebytes for the first time and loved it.

linky and good luck!

When we used AVG at work, it didn't seem take notice of anything. I was certain my HD could get raped by an elephant and AVG would think my browser was saving a cookie.

rarely, if I get them I look for a manual solution to remove them. but sometimes they get in too deep
