Remove Vista Guardian. Description and removal instructions
While VistaGuardian is running you will also find your computer flooded with various alerts stating that your computer is infected with malware. This program will hijack both Internet Explorer and Firefox to randomly display messages about insecure Internet activity when browsing the web and state that you should purchase Vista Guardian to protect your computer from possible attacks. These alerts, like web browser hijacks are just another attempt to trick you into believing that you are infected with Trojans, worms and other viruses. However, the worst thing is that this parasite blocks anti-virus and anti-spyware software as well as useful Windows functions (Task Manager and Regedit). In order to remove this virus you will have to either use another PC or re-enable default Windows registry settings. To do this, please use the guide below. Vista Guardian removal instructions: 1. Click Start->Run (or WinKey+R). Input: "command". Press Enter or click OK. 2. Type "notepad" as shown in the image below and press Enter. Notepad will open. 3.
