What is AdvancedPrivacyGuard?

AdvancedPrivacyGuard is yet another fraud. The one and only function of Advanced Privacy Guard is loading pop-ups. It displays large numbers of fabricated security alerts in order to make people click on the pop-ups and purchase full version of AdvancedPrivacyGuard. While many legitimate programs offer trial version for free and full version for a certain price, Advanced PrivacyGuard is not one of those legitimate applications. Both demo and the full version of Advanced Privacy Guard hide the same malware.

Advanced PrivacyGuard can make computer unusable by loading plenty of the falsified security notifications. Remove this fraud as soon as possible.

AdvancedPrivacyGuard 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 AdvancedPrivacyGuard can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads AdvancedPrivacyGuard trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, AdvancedPrivacyGuard offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, AdvancedPrivacyGuard not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AdvancedPrivacyGuard, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet.

It then proceeds to download or even install AdvancedPrivacyGuard, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as AdvancedPrivacyGuard, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
