How do I get rid of PCGuard tryng to install itself?

Hope someone can help.
Since yesterday, whenever I switch on my PC, I automatically get an install wizard appear trying to set up PC Guard (free virus software provide by Virgin Media, my ISP)
I don't want it, as it won't work alongside Zonealarm
It is so infuriating, as it slows down the process of trying to get on-line, as I keep having to 'cancel' the installation.
Anyone know how to stop this happening?
Running windows XP
Thanks
