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.
