Hi!
My poor computer has been infected too, by Antivirus Live. But, before that, Internet Explorer did not work, so I only used Firefox. Can I do the same manipulation? Please, help me, he's only 4 years, it's too early to die!

I have the AntiVirus infection on my laptop. It is not networked and I am afraid to network it to my PC in case I spread the infection. When I uncheck the proxy server box (there is no "apply") and try to get to the web it says I am offline.

I have Malware Bytes installed on my system but it hasn't been updated in a few months. This infection has blocked all access to the web and I can't get an update.

Any suggestions? This is really bad!

Restart your computer. And before Antivirus Live gets a chance to load up, click the Start Menu and go to Run. Type in taskmgr in the box. Once it pops up, go to the Processes Tab. Look for anything that has [random]sysguard.exe and end that process. Once you do that, go to System Tools> System Restore and restore to a date before the virus popped up. After you have done all that, run a Full Scan of your Antivirus protection to completely get rid of the virus.
