hello! We had to restart our computer a few days ago because we had gotten spyware guard 2008 on our computer. Now we think it's coming back since the pop-up keeps coming up AGAIN. Will this program remove that? I'd like to know before I download this. Thanks for the help :lol:

This is a rogue antispyware application. Once it's installed, it's installed, I'm afraid. CCleaner is exellent for cleaning temporary files etc, but this one is outside its' scope. Run it as part of a malware cleanup, though.

See here and here for instructions on how to remove/clean your computer.

The second link is the Piriform malware removal procedure. Running through that should zap it.
