How to remove Additional Guard?
What is Additional Guard?
Additional Guard sounds like the kind of program, which you might use just to make absolutely sure that your cyber security can not be compromised. Well, if you thought that – surprise! Additional Guard is no more than a fake security program, which uses illicit methods both to spread and to sell. This parasite is a clone of Windows System Defender, and is every which way identical to it’s predecessor: it uses trojans to enter the system, and relies on misleading information to trick users into purchasing it’s “full version”.
Once inside, Additional Guard will try to fool you by displaying annoying popups, which claim your system is infected, and urge you to protect your system using this program in particular. Then there’s the absolute classic, which is the fake system scan. This thing seems honest enough, and has a status bar – what more does an antivirus need? Rhetorical though that question may be, i would like to answer it anyway; what a decent antivirus needs – besides a status bar – is the ability to detect parasites,- something that is clearly not the greatest part of Additional Guard.
In a nutshell, Additional Guard is like paying money to get screwed over – do NOT trust it, and dispose of it as soon as possible.

Additional Guard is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Additional Guard can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Additional Guard trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Additional Guard offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Additional Guard does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.
Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Additional Guard, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Additional Guard, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.
Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Additional Guard, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
