IGuardPc is a fake antivirus program. Don't delay and remove this malicious software from your computer using provided removal instructions. IGuardPc reports false scan results and displays fake security alerts to make you think that your computer is infected. It is promoted trough the use of Trojans or comes bundled with other malicious software. Once running, it will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections or system security threats which do not actually exist. Do not purchase it and uninstall as soon as possible.

Usually, IGuardPc must be manually installed, but the trick is that this program impersonates legitimate or useful software. Sometimes it not so easy to tell weather software or for example security alerts are fake or legitimate, especially for inexperienced Internet users. When installed, I Guard Pc will simulate a system scan and display a list of infections that supposedly can be removed only if you purchase the program. That's not true and obviously a scam. To make this whole thing look more credibly, it will impersonate Windows Security Center and state that your anti-virus software is turned off.
