I SWEAR THIS WORKS!! THANK U SO MUCH I WAS SO FRUSTRATED WITH THE STUPID POP UPS BUT IT WORKED!! YAYYYYY!!! THIS INFORMATION WAS AWESOME!
Very well put together and good advice. None of this worked for me though. It seems to be loaded as another name on my computer. It’s not as easy as finding something named “Antivirus System Pro” and deleting. I was able to delete the sysguard.exe so it’s not popping up all the time.
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much!
I work at an IT-department and all other pages about this program was leading nowhere!!
This one did the trick and killed iehelper.dll in the system32 folder.
( i tried deleting it myself but it said that other programs were dependent on it and closing down all the processes in task manager did not help!)
..again, thank you so much!

Same as for Valerie, no directory found.
I only had the pop-up coming, I never installed the program itself.
I probably had a mutation of it
* To remove it I first stop the sysguard.exe process to suppress the pop-up.
* I made a search and delete of “sysguard*.*” Two files found, the .exe in c:\windows and a .pf file in some sub of c:\windows.
* For the dll my anti-spyware was smart enough to identify and quarantaine the “iehelper.dll”. I just deleted from the quarantaine.
* Then in the registery I made a search and delete of “spyguard” and got rid of 3 registery. The Icon then disapeared of the icon tray.
Restarted to make sure and it worked !
Thanks a lot without your help I would never had know where to start and what to look for.
Thank you very much. Your step by step process was made it very easy for me o take care of this. Also Dominique’s advice worked well for me.
