I was doing some genealogy the other night, and the next afternoon this PS Guard thing showed up.
I followed your instructions. Now the system is KAPUT! I have another system that I am currently using but I want my data back. The processor is cranked at 100% and won't run anything. The only response I get is from task manager. Even that locks up a lot. My task bar has disappeared. I tried rebooting in safe mode but to no avail. When I tried to revert to last good settings everything went back to VGA, I assume its back to right before I installed the new video card. Please HELP. I need the files on this system for my side job.

Welcome mike6675 to Geeks to Go!

Let's see what we can do.

We'll need to transport some files from the computer you are now using, to your infected computer.

Please download http://noahdfear.gee...d=1]noahdfear's smitRem.exe©[/url] and save the file to your desktop.
Right click on the file and extract it to it's own folder on the desktop.
So you'll get a new folder called smitrem on your desktop.
I want you to put that folder on cd, floppy or usb-stick.

On your infected computer, boot again in safe mode and open your task manager again.
Now insert the cd, floppy or usb-stick where you saved the smitrem folder in your infected computer.

In your Task Manager, click 'applications' (first tab).
Click the New Task button.
Cick browse.

Now browse to the drive where your floppy, usb-stick or cd is present (could be A or D or E or F.. you'll see..)
Search for that smitrem folder.
Right click on the smitrem folder and choose: Copy

Now browse again via Task Manager to My Documents or Program Files.
Right click somewhere in there, right click and choose: Paste
Now open the smitrem folder you just copied and pasted and click the file: RunThis.bat
Then click open.
In the window where it says 'Create new task', click OK.

Normally, you'll have to drag the different windows you'll see to left or to right, because normally they will open on top of each other and you wont see the command window the tool starts that is under it.
You'll see a blue window now.
Follow the prompts on screen.
Wait for the tool to complete.

When done, in Task Manager, click 'shut down' from the menu on top and click restart. Your computer will reboot now.
Reboot to normal mode and post a Hijackthis log in your next reply.
