What fresh bullshit is this? Here I am, just checking
out the sites and this crazy Russian bitch hijacks my
laptop and overpowers my virus protection like it was
NOTHING. I appreciate the help with the high tech
Removal and all, but I think what we really need to do
is hunt down the guy who wrote it and string him up by his
balls. Not kill him. Just leave him there. And put a live feed of
him hanging there on the web where his Trojan horse used to be.
that would be justice…

Thanks for the tech help for rookies like me. I can stop the processes through task launcher, but XL Guard returns at reboot and never lets my computer get to my desktop. It does an auto-scan at start-up before desktop loads and I have to click update license, purchase, and customer service to reach the internet and access to sites like yours. The program will not close excepy with task launcher and when I close it I have a black screen with safe mode in each corner and nowhere to go. I cannot get to the start menu menu, programs, or any of that. How can this rookie acccomplish that without purchasing a spyware program?

Just stop the process, and execute “explorer”. It will rebuild your windows desktop. Then I dont know, Im on the way to remove it!!

I hope someone can help. Same problem with bilbo, except i cannot go through the “update license” procedure as this thing has also blocked my internet access.
Help…i am going mad.

An update…even if i open in “safe mode” it is still there dominating my screen and will not close. This thing is vicous.

If you’re having problems loading your pc when this thing starts, ctrl alt del brings up task mgr, and stop the process, after that you can do a file/run, and run the explorer.exe to get to your Desktop. my personal opinion, is use Safe Mode, using F8 during boot.
