What is Guard Pro?

Guard Pro, which is also referred to as GuardPro, is a fake anti-spyware program that typically tries to sell itself to the user by means of fake spyware warnings. It normally reaches a user’s system through insecure websites or through attachments downloaded from spam emails, which contain the harmful Trojans that install Guard Pro on the system. Once it has established itself on the computer, Guard Pro will load as a startup device and show various pop-ups from the Windows taskbar, warning the user of numerous security threats. When a user tries to inspect these threat warnings, the authentic-looking Guard Pro GUI opens up and immediately starts to run a fake scan of the system, flagging legitimate system programs as viruses. Additionally, Guard Pro will claim that the only way to get rid of these threats is to purchase a ‘licensed’ copy of the rogue software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version of Guard Pro is incapable of carrying out the task. However, no user should allow themselves to be duped into paying money for this so-called ‘full’ version, as it is just as useless as the ‘trial’ version.

As soon as you find a copy of Guard Pro on your computer, you should take steps to remove it. The process of Guard Pro removal is outlined below. Users should consider scanning the entire computer with a genuine antivirus product such as Spyware Doctor with Antivirus » download to make sure that there are no auxiliary infections present.
