Internet Security Guard - How to remove

Internet Security Guard

Internet Security Guard is parasite of the same family as Home security Solutions. It mimics design of Microsoft security programs closely to convince visitors that it is an upgraded version of Microsoft security Essentials that can remove some of the parasites MSE can’t. However, Internet Security Guard is a nothing else than a rogue anti-spyware program : it detects infections in either non-existing or harmless files on your disk system. This makes it relatively dangerous, as you could cripple your PC if you delete files Internet Security Guard detects as harmful.
Typically, Internet Security Guard infects one’s PC after visiting infected websites, various questionable downloads or infected email attachments. Most often this means that you got no decent antivirus software, which would have prevented this malware from installing. The trojan might show some sort of warning about parasites that your legitimate antivirus programs can not detect and install Internet Security Guard, which would start blocking legitimate software execution. This is done by blocking legitimate (and even some rogues) antivirus executable names in the registry.
Internet Security Guard will show warnings and popups to convince you that there are lots of parasites on your PC. Typical popups will look like this:

Attention! xx infected files detected!
Scan Result: Your computer is infected!
Recommended: click “Remove All” button to erase all infected files and protect your PC

You should not pay for Internet Security Guard. If you did so, ask your bank to block the charge. Paying for this rogue will fund development of future rogue anti-virus programs and we will see more of such scams later on. You should get rid of Internet Security Guard by using one of the removal instructions.
