What is Yourguardonline.com?

Yourguardonline.com is a website used by the rogue anti-spyware program Trust Fighter for promotion purposes. Your browser will be redirected to this website after trojans infiltrate your system and change the browser settings. The website itself is a regular fake online system scan, only with a really exotic interface reminiscent of your BIOS settings or the blue MS-DOS screen. After the “scan” is performed, Yourguardonline.com notifies the user that a number of infections have been found on the system and urges him to download the completely useless Trust Fighter rogue.

Do NOT trust this website and remove Trust Fighter as soon as possible.
