System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items - Delete PeerGuardian


Manually scan your hard drive using Spotlight & get rid of everything with the name PeerGuardian. You can delete directly from Spotlight. For starters go to - User uploaded file/Library/Preferences - trash PeerGuardian's plist file. Also, trash the Finder plist file while you're at it.


Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.
