My PC infected with Spyware Guard 2008 but problems installing Spybot - S&D

[pulumait]

Hi there,

My PC is infected with Spyware Guard 2008. The challenging task is that the program is not letting any antivirus or malware protection programs to successfully install.

For Spybot S&D, while installing I am stuck on the following page:

The install wizard displays 'Setup is now downloading additional files to your computer. File: updallocator.php(1 of 1) Status : connecting to 127.0.0.1

and comes up this popup error : Error sending request. A connection with the server could not be established.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It appears that Spyware Guard 2008 is blocing access to updates by redirecting access to 127.0.0.1 (your system).
