Dr. Guard Descriptions:

Dr. Guard is a malicious anti-spyware application which has just recently entered the web. The fake software is very similar to other roguewares which are promoted through online scanners. Dr. Guard should never be trusted or installed on any computer.

Once you get this virus, it starts its fake activities. First, it creates files on the registry. Later it begins scanning the entire system. Of course, Dr. Guard is designed in such a way that it would detect infections. Be sure you don’t get trapped because these so-called infections are only files created by Trojans in advance.

In case you notice any of the symptoms mentioned below, be sure that your computer is infected by Dr. Guard and your machine needs to be fixed as soon as possible:

• Although reminding the legible application, fake scans are displayed on your screen.
• Different security warnings keep popping out of nowhere.
• Your computer becomes really slow.
• Your browser has a different home page, which is usually the site of Dr. Guard.
• Simulated scan results are displayed on your PC.

Do not ever install Dr. Guard on your PC. In case you already have this infection, remove it following the instructions provided below.
