ScanGuard is an optimization software promising to improve the use of all resources on your computer, but it can be considered a scareware as well. As soon as it’s up and running on your computer, it will start scaring you into believing your computer has all sorts of dangerous issues that need fixing as soon as possible. Once you’re convinced it will take you to buy its software, because no fixing will take place until you open up your wallet.
Usually, ScanGuard is installed along with some freeware. If we make the mistake of overlooking what’s written on the install process, we can easily fail to notice what’s being offered as optional, therefore we install it without really noticing it. ScanGuard can be attached to fake updates either for programs or plug-ins (such as Java or Flash) usually found in download or video streaming websites.
If you have been infected with ScanGuard, you have got to be careful with blogs offering an alleged removal solution, because they tend to be frauds that will take you to install a anti-spyware tool that will prove to be both expensive and useless. What is even worse, getting rid of those tools will be hard on its own.
