Re: Recent malware problem
One of our security guards brought his personal PC by the office the other day, "because it keeps saying to install antivirus", but it wouldn't let him. When I booted the PC up, I noticed the Spyware Guard 2008 pop-ups immediately. Malwarebytes program was the first one I downloaded (from a separate machine, because his wouldn't even connect to the Internet), and SG2008 wouldn't even allow the program to launch. I tried unsuccessfully to update his (expired) Norton Antivirus. I tried to install multiple free antivirus solutions. The program wouldn't allow any of them to install. I tried to manually delete all of the files and registry entries associated with it. None of these attempts were successful. I finally told him to take the computer home and find his restore disk, because I was tired of messing with it.
