While on this site, izismile.com, host site for the pictures, I picked up the
trojan "Personal Guard 2009". Believe me, this is not something you want. This was on my new laptop, running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. I already knew about this trojan and how it works and yet it still managed to load to my laptop. It took over 3 hours to get rid of it. The challenge is finding a real package that will remove it. Several will scan for free, ths can take an hour, but then require you to purchase to remove it. I finally found
this package which will remove it as part of the free trial version. I do not work for, have any interest in, or advance knowledge of the product (Malwarebytes ). Only know that it did the job for me. I do know that Personal Guard 2009 will eventually take over your PC.
