What is VirusGuardPlus?

VirusGuardPlus presents itself as great program for computer protection, but it’s a malware dressed up like security tool. Virus Guard Plus is installed automatically when user visits malicious websites. It exploits web browser security holes to reach its victims. VirusGuard Plus might easily be mistaken for anti-virus: it is able to display computer scan and report malwares and errors found on system. Do not be tricked by Virus Guard Plus and avoid purchasing full version of it! Each warning displayed by VirusGuardPlus is fabricated. This malware loads plenty of security notifications trying to intimidate victims and make them pay money for deleting non-existent infections. Revealing your credit card details to creators of VirusGuard Plus may cost you much more than the price of full license. Virus Guard Plus generates large amounts of pop-ups and slows down computer’s performance by constantly running in a background. It may slow down internet connection as well.

VirusGuardPlus is identical to another scam named VirtualPCGuard. Both of these programs are malicious and they shouldn’t be trusted.
