Severity scale:

(72 / 100)

Windows Guard Pro is a misleading security application that uses false scan results, fake security alerts and notifications about serious system security threats to make you think your computer is infected with spyware, adware, Trojans and other malware. The rogue program was released by the same group of malware creators who have developed Windows System Suite, Windows Additional Guard and Windows Protection Suite. Once installed, WindowsGuard Pro will allegedly scan your computer and display various bogus infections. Then it will ask you to purchase the program to remove computer threats which do not even exist. You should uninstall Windows Guard Pro from your PC upon detection.

While running, WindowsGuardPro will flood your computer with fake security alerts and notifications from Windows Task Bar. It will impersonate Windows Security Center and state that anti-virus software is disabled and that you must purchase WindowsGuard Pro to ensure full system protection. The misleading application displays known computer security threats to make it look more reliable and professional just in case you would search for a certain threat description on the Internet. For example: Trojan-Spy.HTML.Citifraud.a, Trojan-Spy.Win32.WMPatch, SpamTool.Win32.Delf.h, BAT.Looper and many others.

Furthermore, Windows Guard Pro will hijack the Internet Explorer and redirect you to totally different websites full of advertisements and malicious content. The rogue application will modify Windows Hosts file. Likely, your computer will slow down dramatically as well. As you can see, this program is a scam. Do not purchase it. Use the removal guide below to remove Windows Guard Pro from the system manually for free. You should also scan your computer with trusted and reputable anti-spyware application.
