How to remove Privacy Guard Pro?
What is Privacy Guard Pro?
Privacy Guard Pro (a.k.a Privacy Guard Pro 2.0) is a new rogue spyware remover and privacy protector. This parasite is essentially a fake anti-spyware program, which uses disinformation to trick the user into purchasing it’s full version. Privacy Guard Pro typically makes it’s way to the system by using the trojan Zlob, which comes disguised as a video codec and is usually found in porn/warez websites.
Once inside and active, Privacy Guard Pro will flood the user with popups, supposedly to inform him of an infection/privacy breach. The general idea, that there is spyware on the system should not be discounted, but the fact that Privacy Guard Pro has neither the ability to detect nor remove any threats should be clear. This parasite will also perform fake system scans and hijack the browser.
Privacy Guard Pro is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage (privacyguardpro.com) using your HOSTS file.
