Severity scale:

(81 / 100)

XLGuarder is a new rogue anti-spyware - a fake spyware remover, which typically uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system, but may also be manually downloaded and installed. This parasite relies on misleading advertising, such as popups, fake system notifications and falsified system scan reports, to convince the user he is infected and thus get him to purchase XLGuarder's "licensed version".

There is absolutely no information on the company behind XLGuarder: no name, no contact details and no website. XLGuarder is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block xlguarder.com using your HOSTS File.
