I have managed to get PSGuard supposed anti-spyware software on my computer, but have removed the initial annoying desktop with ewido and ad-aware. But occassional I still get the PSGuard running on start up, I have a little red circle icon in the system tray, which just says my computer is infected. Ad-aware seems to find the PSGuard, but doesn't permanently remove it.
Could you give me some advice on removing these, here is my hijackthis log
