SpyGuarder (Spy Guarder or SpyGuarder 2.1) is a fake spyware remover. You might have gotten SpyGuarder from a Trojan (like Zlob or Vundo) disguised as video codecs while surfing the web. Once your computer is infected, SpyGuarder will use its fake system scan and then show a list of supposed infections as a result of the fake scan. SpyGuarder may also flood your system with misleading warning alerts that read:

“Warning! Harmful and malicious spyware detected… Continue Unprotected [or] Get full version of SpyGuarder Now!”

If you innocently click on a popup, you’ll be redirected to SpyGuarder’s website (www.SpyGuarder.com), or other rogue website, where it will try to convince you to buy the SpyGuarder commercial version. Since SpyGuarder makes your computer vulnerable, hackers may try to access your system and steal your personal and financial information. SpyGuarder may also recreate itself every time your system boots, making it difficult to locate and remove. Furthermore, SpyGuarder may cause your computer to slow down.

What is a rogue anti-spyware program?

SpyGuarder is a rogue anti-spyware program.

A rogue anti-spyware program is a program that uses spyware and other deceptive tools to trick you into purchasing their fake spyware remover. A rogue anti-spyware software will install a trojan on your machine to download the software. You’ll know you’re being tricked if you go to a website and an ad pops up that looks like a Windows notification message. Once you click on the ad’s OK button, this will direct you to the software’s website. In other cases, simply by clicking the cancel or close button can start the rogue anti-spyware program’s installation. Often, a rogue anti-spware program will display false positives (nonexistent spyware) when you use their spyware scanner. Some rogue anti-spyware software, like SpyGuarder will automatically download the trial version without your knowledge.
