Severity scale:

(76 / 100)

VirtualGuard Plus is malicious application trying to get your money. Fortunately, there’s no sign of it infecting computers on its own, but it uses misleading online advertisements to trick people into downloading it voluntarily. VirtualGuardPlus opens up a pop-up when user visits one of many malicious websites. The pop-up offers scanning a computer online and checking if the machine is clean from infections. Although there are “Yes” and “No” buttons on the advertisement, the options are misleading; whatever is chosen by user, he is redirected to another malicious website. VirtualGuardPlus states that a computer is badly infected and offers downloading security program. That’s the point where everyone should stop and close the website; if downloaded, Virtual Guard Plus is very difficult to remove.

It is dangerous scam because VirtualGuardPlus isn’t capable of locating or deleting threats. Do not download this program and do not purchase the full version.
