How to remove Guard Online

The simplest way to remove Guard Online is following:
1. Right-click on Guard Online icon on desktop.
2. Select Properties. There will be a field that shows file and folder name. The folder name will likely be C:\Windows\System32\. File name will be completely random.
3. Open the location in explorer (C:\Windows\System32\ )
4. Rename the file in that folder that is shown in Target field (step 2).
5. Reboot PC normally. The Guard Online should not launch.
6. open the location again and delete the file.
7. scan with Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to get rid of remaining Guard Online files and processes. If browser does not open websites, try disabling proxy server in the browser
8. You might have to scan your PC with TDSS killer as well. This might need to be done after step 5.
