There is a new rogue from the Rogue.Sysguard family called Smart Fortress 2012. This is the most aggressive variant I have ever seen from this family and I have seen them all. I am currently working on some samples and trying to get a solution put together for you.If you are infected with this malware, you obviously know it is very difficult to remove. This particular variant kills every executable I have thrown at it so far, starts before your Desktop shows, and starts in safe mode. Don't worry, though, a solution will be created and you will be able to fix your computer soon enough. If you do have access to your desktop, you can attempt to run your security software by right clicking on the icon and select to Run the program as an Administrator. This will allow the program to run. Stay tuned!Update @ 8:33PM EST: Wrote a formal removal guide that can be used here:
