Kaspersky Lab
While visiting a friend’s house tonight a discussion arose about a computer virus that she had received. Not being an extremely experienced computer user, she was somewhat perplexed. She was constantly receiving pop-ups on her system that appeared to be an antivirus program alerting her that she had been infected. Of course, this was actually a virus designed to get the user to pay what would appear to be a subscription fee, but was anything but. The name of this malware was ‘Spyware Protect 2009’ or ‘sysguard.exe’. So, what was the solution to this issue? This was a pretty simple fix. I uninstalled the expired copy of Symantec on her system and installed a trial version of Kaspersky Internet Security. After getting the latest updates, I right clicked the file that appeared to be infected and had Kaspersky scan it. The malware was quickly detected and removed. After a reboot all was back to normal. I like the easy ones like that!
