Once inside, it proceeds to harass you with numerous fake system notifications that indicate your infection with spyware. If you click any of these, HardDriveGuard will start up a falsified scan, which will report bogus threats on your computer. However, if you wish to remove these non-existent pests, HardDriveGuard will ask you to pay up.
