When uninstalling a program, you should always try using either Windows' uninstall feature o if present, the program's uninstall process. You can use Revo to uninstall any remnants, if need be.
Try these 2 programs:
AdwCleaner Please download
AdwCleaner by
Xplode, save it to your desktop.
- Close ALL open programs, including your Internet browsers.
- Right click on adwcleaner.exe and select "Run as administrator" to run it.
- Click on Scan. When the scan finishes...the Clean button will become active.
- Click on Clean.
- Select OK at each prompt... to reboot the computer.
- A logfile C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt will open after you log back on the computer. ([Sn] n = number of run)
Restart the computer normally and see if there are any signs of Browser Guardian... if not, good you're done.
:cheers: Done! Thank you Wingman! I just love this AdwCleaner! Teach me, is this something to use only when you think there is a problem?
I am guilty as charged for racing to use Revo and I think it's because I feel it removes "everything" including the registry. In this case, I stand corrected!
It did not removed everything.
Not sure if you want to see the log file? Here it is:
