<p><strong>PC Security Guardian </strong>is what is known as a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fake Anti-Virus</span> or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Malware</span> infection. This particular type of virus works by secretly gaining access to your computer through spam emails, suspicious websites and infected software. Once the infection is on your system, it gets to work immediately by blocking standard computer processes and replacing them with its own malicious processes. This then shows by not being able to carry out simple tasks such as open Internet Explorer or play games. They will then try and get you to hand over your cold hard cash by making you believe your computer is full of viruses and lethal viruses and that they can remove them, which completely bogus and fake.</p>
<p><span id="more-3252"></span></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How Do You Catch PC Security Guardian</span></h3>
<p>These sorts of viruses originate from Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East and are created by experienced computer hackers. Once the program has been created it is then dispersed via email lists and websites and Google images which is becoming more frequent. Many people have caught the virus by opening suspicious emails and being unaware that the malware is actually installing itself and dispersing many different files and settings throughout your computer</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>SystemDoctor</strong> is an infection known as a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fake anti-virus program</span>. It works by secretly downloading &amp; installing itself onto your computer. This infection is not like any other virus, as it will block a lot of the programs which will prevent you from being able to get rid of the virus. We&#8217;ve found that one of the biggest problems that SystemDoctor has is that it will just appear on your PC, and therefore needs to be removed in the most effective way possible &#8211; by using the tutorial outlined on this page.</p>
<p><span id="more-3244"></span></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How Do You Catch SystemDoctor</span></h3>
<p>Most fake anti-virus infections originate from Eastern Europe, Russia and China and are developed by professional computer hackers who specialize in creating this sort of software. People who have had the the virus on their computer said that they either opened a suspicious email or went on a suspicious website and the infection immediately downloaded and installed without their knowledge or consent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/go/rogueremover"><img class="size-full wp-image-3247 aligncenter" title="VirusLocker" src="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/VirusLocker-3.5_1.jpg" alt="" width="352" height="275" /></a></p>
<p><strong>VirusLocker </strong>is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">fake anti-virus</span> that has recently surfaced on the Internet and is infecting people&#8217;s computers by downloading and installing specific files and settings onto your computer. It does this through many different ways, such as spam emails, infected websites or infected links. The most common ways is via spam emails and infected websites, whereby people will open suspicious emails or navigate around suspicious websites and the virus will immediately start downloading onto your system without your knowledge.</p>
<p><span id="more-3241"></span></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How Do You Catch VirusLocker</span></h3>
<p>VirusLocker originates from places like China, Russia and even Middle Eastern countries and are developed by experienced computer hackers. When the hackers finish creating the virus they then release it into the world via spam emails and infected websites. The virus works by blocking general computer processes and luring you into a false sense of security by making you believe that your computer is infected with trojans, viruses, adware and spyware. It will then offer you the choice to remove the infections but only if you purchase the full version of the program, which is completely bogus and fake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/go/registry_cleaner_download"><img class="size-full wp-image-2291 aligncenter" title="runtimeerror0" src="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/runtimeerror0.png" alt="" width="195" height="134" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Runtime Error 0</strong> is an indication that there is a problem with a particular software or the files the program is using to operate.  This error shows up when the program encounters a faulty component usually causing the program to crash.  This type of error is quite common when you have MalwareBytes installed on your system.  MalwareBytes can be a big cause of runtime 0 errors and you need to resolve the issues surrounding this program in order to fix the problem.  This tutorial will help you repair runtime error 0 on your PC.</p>
<p><span id="more-2267"></span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What Causes Runtime 0 Errors?</span></strong></h3>
<p>Runtime 0 errors are primarily caused by the way in which Windows is unable to read or load specific files or settings required to run a program such as MalwareBytes.  The problem can also be caused by files that have been unregistered in the system and damaged or corrupted system settings.  You need to identify the source of the problem in order to fix runtime error 0 – which can be performed using the steps outlined below:</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">How To Fix Runtime Error 0</span></strong><strong></strong></h2>
<h3><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Step 1 –</span> Re-Install Any Software Causing Problems</span></strong></h3>
<p>The first thing that you need to do to fix the runtime error 0 is re-install any program that causes the error notifications to appear on your screen.  To re-install programs, you first need to remove it from your system, which you can do by clicking <strong>Start</strong>&gt; <strong>Control Panel</strong>&gt; <strong>Add/Remove Programs</strong> and select the application from the list.  Click the “<strong>Remove</strong>” button and follow the uninstall wizard, if the program has one.  Restart your PC and then insert your CD/DVD installer onto your optical drive once Windows resumes.  This process will ensure that the application will have fresh copies of program files.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Step 2 –</span> Re-Register Any Files That The Software Requires To Run</span></strong></h3>
<p>If the problem is caused by files that have become unresponsive to Windows, you need to re-register it for the software to properly work again.  To register a file onto your Windows system, follow these steps:</p>
<ul>
<blockquote>
<li><em>Open Command Prompt window      by clicking <strong>Start</strong>&gt; <strong>Run</strong> and type “<strong>cmd</strong>” and then press <strong>ENTER</strong>.  In Vista or Windows 7 systems, click <strong>Start</strong> and type “<strong>cmd</strong>” in the search box.</em></li>
<li><em>In the Command Prompt      window, type “<strong>regsvr32 &lt;filename&gt;</strong>” and then press <strong>ENTER</strong>.  For example: </em></li>
<li><em>Close the Command Prompt      window.<br />
<strong>regsvr32 myfile.dll </strong></em></li>
<li><em>Repeat the process until you have re-registered all the files you need to register again.</em></li>
</blockquote>
</ul>
<h3><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Step 3 –</span> Clean Out The Registry</span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/go/registry_cleaner_download" target="_blank">Download This Registry Cleaner</a></span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The “registry” is a large and complicated database that stores all of the settings and options available for every file and program found in your system.  The registry is a major Windows component, but continually encounters errors as you keep on using your computer.  The errors inside the registry stems from damaged or corrupted registry keys which resulted from the improper saving of registry keys making Windows registry a big source of serious errors in your PC including the runtime error 0.</p>
<p>To be able to repair this error, you need to resolve the issues inside the registry by using a reliable ‘<a title="registry cleaner" href="/go/registry_cleaner_download" target="_blank">registry cleaner</a>’ program that can efficiently scan your system and repair broken registry keys immediately.  We suggest that you download <a href="/go/registry_cleaner_download" target="_blank">this tool</a>, which is our recommended cleaning tool for it has been found out to be consistent in fixing 99% of errors and faults in your system enabling you to have an error-free system.</p>

<p><strong>﻿Antivirus 7</strong> is one of the &#8220;rogue antivirus&#8221; viruses that infect many computers around the World. Developed specifically for Windows 7, this virus is continually trying to infect as many PC&#8217;s as possible in order to get &#8220;upgraded&#8221;. Every time Antivirus 7 infects a computer, it falsely reports 100&#8242;s of  fake virus threats on your machine&#8230; However do not fall into that trap, because this application has nothing to do with PC security &#8211; it has been designed for profit by the hackers who produced it and needs to be removed from your machine as quickly as possible.</p>
<p><span id="more-735"></span></p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Where Does Antivirus 7 come from?</strong></span></h2>
<p>Antivirus 7 is usually installed and spread through the use of trojans and online scanners that deliberately hide in video codecs that are supposedly required for watching videos online. Once the malware has been installed it then starts to use malicious techniques to try and convince the user to purchase the full version, obviously this is a scam and should be avoided. Antivirus 7 classically loads deceptive pop up ads telling the user about cyber threats they apparantly have on their machine, users will also notice that they will be redirected to websites actively promoting malware too. Redirections are caused by browser hijacking which is also used in Antivirus 7.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How To Remove Antivirus 7</strong></span></h2>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 1 &#8211; Download &amp; Install <a href="go/malwarebytes" target="_blank"><em>Antivirus 7 Remover</em></a></span></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="/go/malwarebytes"><strong>Download Here</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><em><a href="http://personalcomputerfixes.com/go/malwarebytes"><img src="http://personalcomputerfixes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/malware-bytes.gif" alt="" width="405" height="337" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>MalwareBytes </em>is a free spyware &amp; malware removal tool which you can <a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/malwarebytes">download here</a>.  You need to install it on your PC and then let it scan your system. If you don&#8217;t have access to the Internet (because Internet Security blocked it) then you should download this tool on another PC and then transfer the installation file via CD or USB pen.</p>
<p>Using this tool is very simple. It shows you what you need to delete from your system and by doing this the Antivirus 7 remover will help get rid of Antivirus 7 software that is on your system.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Step 2 &#8211; Clean The Registry </span></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download">Download This Registry Cleaner Tool</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Although Antivirus 7 Remover is very effective at removing the actual infection from your PC, it does not finish the job properly&#8230; and ends up leaving a series of settings on your PC. These are kept in the &#8216;registry&#8217; database and can actually allow the infection back onto your PC. In order to fully protect yourself, it is recommended that you download a <span class='wp_keywordlink_affiliate'><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download" title="registry cleaner" target="_blank">registry cleaner</a></span> and then use it to remove any of the infected &#8216;Antivirus 7&#8242; registry keys that can still cause problems. This tool is automated and is very easy to use.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What This Removal Process Does:</span></h2>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span> Kills Processes</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>antivirus7.exe</li>
</ul>
<p>You should open up the &#8220;Task Manager&#8221; by clicking <span style="text-decoration: underline;">CTRL + ALT + DEL</span> and then click on the &#8220;Processes&#8221; tab. This will then display a list of running processes, where you should then be able to find the listed files above. Click on each one and then click on the &#8220;End Process&#8221; button to stop the program from running. You can see an example of how that works below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download"><img class="size-full wp-image-37" src="http://personalcomputerfixes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/image022.png" alt="" width="284" height="280" /></a><br />
Stop The Antivirus 7 Processes</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Removes Directories</span></strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>C:\Program FilesAV7</li>
<li> C:\Documents and Settings\All UsersStart MenuAV7\</li>
</ul>
<p>These directories store the files that make Antivirus 7 work. This means that you just need to go into &#8220;My Computer&#8221;, find the above directories, select them with your mouse and press <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SHIFT + DELETE</span>. This will permanently remove them from your PC, preventing the program from loading up ever again.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span>Unregisters DLLs</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>UpdateExplorer.dll</li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span>Deletes Files</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>antivirus7.exe</li>
<li> Antivirus7.lnk</li>
<li> Uninstall.lnk tmp.edb</li>
<li> UpdateExplorer.dll</li>
</ul>
<p>These files are all used by Antivirus 7 to help it run and infect your PC. In order to fully remove the virus from your system for good, you need to be able to remove the various files listed above. Using the spyware removal tool listed above should be able to do this quickly and easily.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Recomended</span> &#8211; Clean The Registry (Highly Recommended)<br />
</span></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download">Download This Registry Cleaner</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In order to prevent Antivirus 7 coming back on your PC, you need to remove all the registry entries it has entered. This important, because many people leave these intact and end up having the problem come back again. Registry entries store the settings and options for the program, and by using a <span class='wp_keywordlink_affiliate'><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download" title="registry cleaner" target="_blank">registry cleaner</a></span>, you can remove them all and get your computer fit and healthy again. <strong>This is highly recommended, otherwise your PC could get infected again!</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Antivir </strong>is a rogue antivirus tool which installs itself on your PC and proceeds to try and get you to buy the software. This is a very malicious tool that will do its best to annoy you so much that you give up and purchase the tool. Although it has been designed to look professional &amp; legitimate, the Antivir program does not do anything to clean your system and causes a lot more problems than it fixes.</p>

<p>Although Malware Bytes is very effective at removing the actual infection from your PC, it does not finish the job properly&#8230; and ends up leaving a series of settings on your PC.

In order to fully protect yourself, it is recommended that you download a <span class='wp_keywordlink_affiliate'><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download" title="registry cleaner" target="_blank">registry cleaner</a></span> and then use it to remove any of the infected &#8216;Antivir&#8217; registry keys that can still cause problems.

</ul>
<p>Although Malware Bytes is very effective at removing the actual infection from your PC, it does not finish the job properly&#8230; and ends up leaving a series of settings on your PC. These are kept in the &#8216;registry&#8217; database and can actually allow the infection back onto your PC.

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What This Removal Process Does:</span></h2>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">STEP 1 </span>- Kill Processes</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li> mdefense.exe</li>
<li>uninstall.exe</li>
</ul>
<p>You should open up the &#8220;Task Manager&#8221; by clicking <span style="text-decoration: underline;">CTRL + ALT + DEL</span> and then click on the &#8220;Processes&#8221; tab. This will then display a list of running processes, where you should then be able to find the listed files above. Click on each one and then click on the &#8220;End Process&#8221; button to stop the program from running. You can see an example of how that works below:</p>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">STEP 2</span> &#8211; Remove Files &amp; Directories<br />
</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>C:\Program Files\Malware Defense</li>
<li> %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Malware Defense</li>
</ul>
<p>These files &amp; directories store the files that make Malware Defense work. This means that you just need to go into &#8220;My Computer&#8221;, find the above directories, select them with your mouse and press <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SHIFT + DELETE</span>. This will permanently remove them from your PC, preventing the program from loading up ever again.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">STEP 3 </span>- <span class='wp_keywordlink_affiliate'><a href="http://personalcomputerfixes.com/general-fixes/how-to-unregister-dlls/" title="Unregister DLLs" target="_blank">unregister DLLs</a></span></strong></span></h3>

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">STEP 4 </span>- Clean The Registry (Highly Recommended)<br />
</strong></span></h3>

</ul>
<p>In order to prevent Malware Defense coming back on your PC, you need to remove all the registry entries it has entered. This important, because many people leave these intact and end up having the problem come back again. Registry entries store the settings and options for the program, and by using a <span class='wp_keywordlink_affiliate'><a href="http://www.personalcomputerfixes.com/go/registry_cleaner_download" title="registry cleaner" target="_blank">registry cleaner</a></span>, you can remove them all and get your computer fit and healthy again. <strong>This is highly recommended</strong>.</p>
