Dr. Guard description

Dr. Guard is not a real antivirus application. It’s a malware made to look like a real anti-spyware tool in order to sell it as a real thing. The purpose of this fraud is to make the user think that it is an actual security application and that in order to gain full service they must purchase it. However, those who appear to be unfortunate enough to pay money for using Dr. Guard soon find out that it does not provide any security services whatsoever. What Dr. Guard does is infect your system with even more parasites, create security flaws for other similar applications to enter and sabotage the computer’s security system.

In order to prevent Dr. Guard from entering your computer you should first of all make sure that your machine is protected by a reputable security software. If it’s not you might acquire Dr. Guard while browsing the web, downloading questionable software or getting convinced by fake online security scanners that your system is seriously infected and download Dr. Guard voluntarily. If you already have Dr. Guard inside your computer it is best to remove it immediately.
