    Troubles for me
    I keep getting this winiguard pop up that says something about a trojan virus but I don't even have any applications or files that are named wini guard. Also a few min after that happens a low memory warning comes up and a loud buzz from the tower happen simultaniously. But the thing is I have 47.5 gb of 55 gb so I have no idea what's going on! :mad: Another thing that happens when I'm on the internet and am trying to download adobe flash player or anything thing else for that matter it tells me I am not authorized to view those pages. WHAT DO I DO!! :eek:

    Sounds like you have a virus.. try googling malwarebytes, you should be able to download a programme that will help.

    Let me know if it does.

    Run the scan it's one of the best free ones.

    Winiguard is one of the newer spyware things that tells you that you're infected and offers to sell you something to disinfect it. Actually, it is the infection. It's nothing but a total scam.

    Here is some information on removing it in Vista:

    Here are some other links that may help you.

    Get yourself Avast or AVGfree both are free virus scans that work well, though Avast is much higher rated and offers real time protection for free(which is a good thing)

    You have to scan your PC as soon as possible. Download and install avg free anti virus and superanti spyware from their respective web sites.
    Boot your computer in the safe mode then try to scan your hole computer.
    Also optimize the windows and internet browser by doing these steps: delete all the junk files(temp,%temp%. Prefetch)Start - run - type the temp... delete the all files then run disk clean up utility and IE optimize by deleting internet temporary files.
