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.
