What is Windows Additional Guard?

Windows Additional Guard is a fake security program created by the same people, who are behind Windows Security Suite as well as some less popular rogues, including two others released on the same day – Ultimate System Guard and Windows Guard Pro. This parasite uses nefarious methods to enter the system, oftentimes employing the use of trojans, such as Vundo and it’s variants. Users can get infected with the parasite by clicking a spam-mail link, downloading a codec to watch a video online or downloading freeware applications that come bundled with the parasite – there are many ways it can happen.

Once inside and active, Windows Additional Guard floods the user with popups and fake system notifications, informing him of a non-existent infection present on the system. This infection can supposedly be disposed of using Windows Additional Guard, and the popups link to the purchase page. The parasite will also perform fake system scans, which return results full of false positives, or marking files created by the rogue as threats.

Windows Additional Guard will significantly slow the system and annoy the hell out of any user. Do NOT download or buy this parasite. Remove Windows Additional Guard if it hapened for you to get infected by this scam as soon as possible.
