removing telsaplus & psguard

i have a problem with psguard and telsaplus. nothing can remove them. i update my spybot SD weekly and have even tried mcafee virus scanner, to no avail. the issue is when i remove psguard from the registery it always comes back thanks to 2 entries in Local Machine/software/ps guard. they are AlwaysBlockChanges & AlwaysBlockWhenNoAV. i have tried to remove them in safe mode then scan using spybot & mcafee & it didn't work. only spyware running on my system is Intell32.exe. it won't stay gone either. i've removed everything i can find associated with psguard & telsaplus but it always comes back. i've included a picture of my registry. anyone got any idea of how to help me. if so email me @

I see Kazaa in that Picture, uninstall it asap

What other filesharrings programs do you use ?
Do you download and install programs with p2p ?

Why has your windows never been updated and why no antivirus program ?

trust me, its not kazaa. i use a hacked version of kazaa lite. all spyware removed, actually just never installed. i know you all are the experts but its not kazaa. my roommate has an issue visiting adult sites. its his computer so there isnt' much i can do about that. now any other ideas?

my windows is as up-to-date as it will let me be, i can't download the SP-x packs. and don't need constant virus software. i install and remove as necessary. btw, mcafee wouldn't remove this either, in safemode.

Kazaa lite is even worse in my opinion, Its a crack. if you use cracks there is no sense in cleaning that pc, it is a waste of your time and my time.
Get used to formating and reinstalling windows..

"i can't download the SP-x packs"
Get a legal copy and keep it updated.

"and don't need constant virus software"

Thats a wrong assumption. even those who never visit suspect sites need an antivirus running at all times.

I cannot help you unless your able to update windows and see the need for a full time av program.
