first try to kill the process "spywarestormer.exe" from the task manager ,then search for the folder " Program Files\Security iGuard" or "program files\spyware stormer" then delete it , next use a registry cleaner like tuneup utilities before rebooting your computer and it's recommended to use kaspersky internet security 2010 to scan your computer even using the trial version will do the mission. please tell me if this is useful.
