Internet Security Guard Removal Process

Kenny — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:45:21 +0000

Internet Security Guard is a fake antivirus software program. It resembles a legitimate antivirus program but instead of detecting harmful infections on your computer and removing them, Internet Security Guard poses a threat to your PC in its own right.

Internet Security Guard will typically infect your PC when you visit a malicious website, when you click on a malware-laced banner advertisement or when you open an infected attachment from a spam email.

Internet Security Guard has been designed to resemble Microsoft security programs such as Microsoft Security Essentials to convince users of its authenticity. Internet Security Guard’s purpose is to trick users into believing that they need it because their computer is under threat and to buy its full version. Internet Security Guard may appear legitimate, but it is really a scam. Once this malicious software is installed in your hard drive, it is tricky to remove. It buries its entries in unexpected locations and efforts to delete the program can result in the deletion of healthy files that are vital to your computer’s smooth operation.

Once embedded, Internet Security Guard has a predefined list of malware names that will later show when it performs bogus antivirus scans on your computer and “identifies” these malware infections, which ultimately will lead you to believe that your computer is in danger.

Internet Security Guard is a rogue antivirus software from the FakeRean family. Its relations include:

Once installed on your PC, Internet Security Guard will automatically run every time Windows is launched. It will display false security warnings and alerts such as:

“Attention! Infected files detected! Scan Result: Your computer is infected! Recommended: click “Remove All” button to erase all infected files and protect your PC”.

“System warning
No real-time malware, spyware and virus protection was found. Click here to activate.”

“Warning! Virus detected”

The warnings appear in a series of pop-up windows that will start to clutter your computer screen. These warnings are bogus and are designed with one purpose: to scare you into thinking your computer is under attack and to prompt you to purchase a meaningless “full license” for the software. Internet Security Guard is false and will not identify any real threats. Furthermore, it may block Windows Task Manager and any legitimate antivirus and antispyware tool, create problems for your PC and install further spyware in the process.

Most rogue anti-spyware programs, such as Internet Security Guard, are difficult to remove manually. You should seek assistance to ensure you do not delete healthy files. Also, do not pay any money to Internet Security Guard as this will simply serve to fund the development of yet more spyware.

Are you getting popups from Internet Security Guard? Have you identified that you have Internet Security Guard installed on your computer? Do you wish to remove Internet Security Guard completely from your computer?

Why should you remove Internet Security Guard?

If Internet Security Guard resides on your computer, it can potentially damage your personal files or you may end up losing data stored on your system. Research has shown that Internet Security Guard may have the ability to make your computer vulnerable to remote attacks which could result, initially, in loss of money, possibly identity theft, and, eventually, a painstaking Internet Security Guard removal process.

Skeeter — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:53:06 +0000

BootCare is a pesky application designed to trick PC users out of money. BootCare is actually marketed for the Korean community but still poses a threat to any PC no matter the location. BootCare in a way promises to boost a PCs performance through system scans and repair methods. Unfortunately, BootCare does not fulfill its promises.

CleanerCom is a fake anti-spyware app that is mainly marketed for Korean PC users. CleanerCom has a dark interface that looks rather convincing to many computer users. Other than the fact that it is unable to detect and remove malware as it claims, CleanerCom looks legitimate to the untrained eye. Although CleanerCom is geared towards the Korean community, it is still a viable threat to any PC. Once installed it is known to render false alert warnings and return bogus system scans results. It is best that a computer user who takes notice to CleanerCom remove it at once before it convinces you to waste your money on a registered version. In actuality, the registered version of CleanerCom is no better than the free one that may one-day appear on your PC.
