How To: Remove AntiMalware Guard
By Jamsi • Aug 7th, 2008 • Category: Rogue AntiVirus RemovalIf you’ve been unlucky to install AntiMalware Guard, then you might have some difficulty in removing it. AntiMalware Guard poses as a fake anti-spamware program and is designed to show FALSE spyware results. To kill and remove AntiMalware, you are going to do a little digging - so lets get started.
Kill the process
First of all, kill the executable which should show in your processes list as
“AntiMalwareGuard_Free[1].exe”.
Remove registry entries
Next, fire up regedit (Start>run>regedit) and proceed to delete the following keys/folders if they exist.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Programs\AntiMalwareGuard
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Programs\AntiMalwareGuard
Reboot
Reboot your computer and AntiMalware Guard should be gone!
However I cannot state this enough, you must install and have an up to date AntiVirus and AntiSpyware application to stop threats like this from entering your computer in the first place. I’ve reviewed popular antispyware products AdAlert and NoAdware here.
