This morning, I do not know what happened, when I opened my PC,
suddenly an message prompt that 'Smart Guard Protection Malware
Security Suite' want to scan my PC, of course I ignored it and
closed the window.
However, that when the problem came when I tried to
opened the Internet Explorer, instead of opening the default xin
msn website, this message appear on the IE:
Warning! The site you are attempting to view may harm your
computer!
http://view.atdmt.com/005/iview/444472605/direct;;wi.300;hi.250/01?click=
(do not open this link!)
Your current security settings put your computer at risk!
•
Activate Smart Guard Protection, and enable safe web surfing
(recommended).
•
Ignore warnings and visit that site in the current state (not
recommended).
If you choose 'ignore warning', you ended up cannot
go to any website like this : https:/https://www.google.com
and even when I closed my browser and reopened again, the same
problem occur
Then when you choose 'Activate Smart Guard
Protection', it will led you to this website : sgpsupport.com/? and
they want you to pay for their "protection" in buying the
anti-virus software. And I also discovered that the Smart
Guard Protection anti-virus software is already 'unknown' installed
in my PC and an Smart Guard Protection's Internet shortcut also
appear in my desktop.
I tried to uninstall this crap anti-virus sofware,
but it does not work, when I go to the website's FAQ to check the
uninstallation steps, that where it stated : "For security you will
need to get an uninstall key at our site to confirm
uninstalling."
The worst part is when I tried to open other
application like Acrobat, it give me this message:
Warning! Infected file detected
Location : File system

security and to avoid loss of data, the operation of application
Acrobat.exe has been temporarily restricted. To restore the
application's full operation, you must use the full edition of
Smart Guard Protection.

Then another 'warning message' appear :

Has any forumers encountered similar annoying situation like
this and anyone have any bright idea to resolve this other than
re-install Windows as last resort since there are important
data in the PC. Thanks for any advise!
