    Unable to remove Dr. Guard virus

    Hello friends,
    I have a computer at my home and it has windows Xp operating system. I think i have downloaded a virus which is called "Dr.Guard". I tried to remove this virus from my computer by using Avast antivirus. When the scanning process was continued i left my computer. After a while when i came back all the threats from my computer where deleted. After that when i tried to open a file, a popup came and it asked me "which program should i run it with to open it". I don't know what is going on here please help me.

    I think the "Dr. Guard" is a roguh virus program which is a self protective, and hence it is important to remove it form the computer as it can prevent any antimalware application from running. In order to remove it, you need to follow the procedure described:
    Just download the Process Explorer into your computer and then please rename it to Explorer.exe. After that run the tool and then spot Dr. Guard. Then click on right and then kill the Dr Guard with all of the components which are placed in your computer. This will help you to remove dr guard from your computer.
