Hello Chaz,

Please lose the caps

Perhaps the problem's being caused by your stuck CapsLock key?

I'd run through the instructions here:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-spyware-guard-2008

If these steps seem difficult to follow, you might consider calling
Microsoft.

If you are in the U.S. or Canada, you can dial 1-866-pcsafety for free help
with this issue. Issues related to virus or spyware infection, or problems
with installing or operation of security-related patches to Windows are
eligible for free help.,

If you are elsewhere in the world, you can call the nearest number for paid
Microsoft support, and ask for the free help as specified above.
