PSGuard Guards Against Nothing at All

PSGuard claims to detect and remove malware and other threats, although it is really spyware.  This is a rogue security program, which simply means that it advertises itself to be a spyware removal tool, but is a fake.  PSGuard uses aggressive and misleading tactics to convince you that threats reside on your PC, so that you will purchase the full version of the product to remove these threats.

Through constant security alerts and fake online scanners, PSGuard hopes to frighten you so that you believe malware and other threats really exist.  The scan results will show you the supposed infections, which are really harmless files created by PSGuard to alarm you.  This malicious application has no ability to scan your computer, and cannot detect or remove any infection or parasite.

Common sources of malware

How might your PC become infected with malware?  This can happen any number of ways.  Malware frequently installs when you innocently download other programs like videos, games or freeware.  Spyware 'bundles' with these other programs, so most users don't realize it is there.  Dangerous or malicious websites and P2P networks are other sources of malware.

Malicious activities of PSGuard

So, what does PSGuard try to do besides steal your money?  A rogue security program will likely track your online interests.  Any information about the websites you visit or topics you search for may be collected and sent to third parties, where it could be used for malicious purposes.  Your private data may be at risk as well. Spyware often gains access to personal business data, passwords, and other sensitive information.

Is spyware on your PC?

How will you know if PSGuard or any other infection exists on your PC?  Most users notice that their PC has become unusually slow or unstable.  Pop-up ads and security alerts will bombard you constantly.  You might notice that your home page has changed, or that your browser takes you to strange websites that you didn't intend to visit.

If malware does reside on your computer, it should be removed at once to avoid further security risks and problems.  You can remove PSGuard manually, but unless you are very experienced in the process this should be avoided.  Manual removal can cause severe damage to your PC.

Are you suspicious that PSGuard may have been placed on your PC?  Visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all malware and spyware automatically.

SpywareSlayer Slays Nothing But Your Pocketbook

SpywareSlayer claims to detect and remove spyware, but the whole thing is a scheme designed to lighten your bank account.  This rogue security program displays constant security alerts and warnings in an attempt to scare you, and hopes to convince you that parasites and threats reside on your PC so that you will purchase the full product offered to remove these infections.

SpywareSlayer claims that it can scan your PC to detect malware and other dangers, but it cannot.  This program cannot detect any threat, and is incapable of removing anything whatsoever.  It is actually adware that will only cause further problems.

Where malware originates

Naturally you would never purposely place SpywareSlayer on your own PC knowing that it was malicious, but where does it come from?  The usual origins of spyware, malware and other dangerous software are programs that many people enjoy, such as music, games or videos you download.  Most people have no clue that spyware can “bundle” with these other programs.  Dangerous websites, P2P networks and spam e-mails are other sources of malware.

Signs that your PC may be infected

Will you know if SpywareSlayer resides on your PC?  There are strange things you are bound to notice.  Your PC will most likely become slower than usual, or even unstable.  Pop-up ads and security alerts will pound you constantly, and your home page may suddenly change.  You may notice that your browser directs you to unknown websites as well.

What SpywareSlayer does

Once SpywareSlayer has entered the system, it may track your online interests.  Information may be gathered relating to the searches you perform and websites you visit.  Private data such as passwords and online business account information may be at risk as well.  Spyware uses an enormous amount of system resources, which is why your PC seems to run so slowly.  Information collected about your interests may be sent to third parties, where it could be used for malicious intentions.

When you believe that malware has been installed on your PC, it should be removed promptly.  You may be able to do this yourself, but unless you are very experienced with the process this should be avoided.  If not done right, manual removal can damage your PC severely.

C-Center is Centered Around Taking Your Money

C-Center is a malicious application that is intent on taking your money.  This rogue security program claims it can detect and remove malware and parasites, although it cannot.  C-Center is designed to frighten you in to believing that your PC is infected, so that you will purchase the product that is offered to remove these threats and restore security.

C-Center displays constant security alerts and fake online scanners in an effort to convince you that infections exist.  It claims it will scan your PC in order to detect these parasites and then remove them.  What they do not tell you up front is that once these threats are detected, you must pay for the full version of the product in order for malware to be removed.  C-Center is spyware, and has no ability to scan your computer. Therefore, it cannot detect or remove anything.

How malware installs

How does malware get placed on your PC if you did not put it there?  Trojans infiltrate security holes in your browser.  You may get infected by visiting malicious websites, downloading popular programs such as freeware or games, or by sharing networks with others.  The fake online scanners may also place malware on your computer.  C-Center installs without your knowledge or permission.

Purpose of C-Center

Other than wanting your money, C-Center "spies" on what you do when you are online.  Information concerning your search queries and the websites you visit may be collected, and private data may be accessed as well.  This information may be sent to third parties, who can then advertise to you using your interests.  Your personal identity may be at risk as well.  C-Center will use any information collected for malicious purposes.

How to detect spyware

If spyware is on your PC, it won't be long before you suspect something is wrong.  Your PC will likely become very slow or unstable, and you will be bombarded by security alerts.  Your browser may send you to unknown websites as well, and you may be blocked from visiting some websites you attempt to visit.  Your home page may change as well, or you may have a new toolbar in your browser.

C-Center should be removed immediately once you realize it resides on your PC.  You may do this manually, but unless you have a thorough knowledge of the process it isn't advised.  Severe damage to your PC may result if done incorrectly.

If you suspect that C-Center has been placed on your PC, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all spyware and malware automatically.

SysDefence Offers No Protection Against Spyware
SysDefence makes a great effort to convince you that malware and other infections exist on your PC, although most likely they do not.  SysDefence is a rogue security program designed to frighten you through aggressive security warnings and fake online scanners, so that you believe you need their product in order to remove these threats.  This application is malware, and should not be trusted.

SysDefence works much like most spyware.  You will be notified through security alerts and pop-ups that your PC is infected.  The fake online scan will detect these threats, although they are created by SysDefence and are harmless.  This is just a further attempt to convince you that infections exist.  Do not buy this product. It has absolutely no ability to detect or remove any malware or parasites.

How malware installs

How does SysDefence install on your PC?  Good question.  Without your permission, malware may install when you download other programs like games and music.  It often comes bundled with these other programs, and you have no idea you are downloading anything malicious.  It may also be placed on your PC when you visit dangerous websites, or through P2P networks.

What does SysDefence do?

SysDefence does what most spyware does – it tracks your interests and possibly private information.  Most of these rogue security programs collect data about the websites you visit, your search queries, and even private passwords or business information.  Your credit card numbers and online business account information may not be safe, which means your personal identity could actually be at risk.

How to recognize spyware

Will you know if you become infected with spyware?  Most likely.  There are numerous indications that your PC has become infected, such as pop-up ads, constant security warnings and a slowing of your computer.  You may notice that your home page has been switched, or that there is a new toolbar in your browser.  You may also be blocked from visiting a website, or sent to one that you did not intend to visit.

Malware is malicious and should be removed at once.  You can do this manually, but unless you really know what you are doing you risk severe damage to your PC.  

If you suspect that SysDefence has been placed on your computer, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all malware and spyware.

PrivacyGuarantor Guarantees Only to Steal Your Money
PrivacyGuarantor is a complete scam designed to take your money.  This rogue security program constantly displays security alerts and fake system notifications in an effort to convince you that threats exist on your PC.  Why?  So that you will download the scan to detect these threats, and purchase the product to remove them and restore security.  It is all a hoax; don't spend your money!

PrivacyGuarantor claims it will detect threats and remove them, but this application is actually an infection.  It looks very convincing, and will even display supposed infections after the scan finishes.  These results are fake.  PrivacyGuarantor has no ability to detect malware or any other parasites, so naturally it cannot remove anything.

Sources of PrivacyGuarantor

Wonder where PrivacyGuarantor comes from, or how it gets placed on your PC?  This can happen several ways.  It may install along with other programs you download, such as games, videos or freeware.  You may also get infected with PrivacyGuarantor when you visit questionable or malicious websites.  P2P networks and spam e-mails are other sources.  You won't know when it actually installs, but there are symptoms you will notice shortly afterward.

Signs of malware

So, how will you know if your PC has been infected with malware?  A slow running or unstable PC is common.  You may also notice that your home page has mysteriously changed, or that a new toolbar has installed in your browser.  It will be impossible to ignore the constant pop-up ads and security alerts that are displayed to you.  

Malicious actions of spyware

What does spyware really do?  Most of these rogue security programs, including PrivacyGuarantor, track your online activities.  Information collected about your searches and the websites you visit may be sent to third parties, who may then advertise aggressively to you through pop-up ads and spam e-mails.  Your private information may be at risk as well, as malware often gains access to personal passwords and business data.

It is crucial that you remove malware as soon as you know it is there to prevent possible damage to your PC and further problems.  Manual removal is possible, but not recommended unless you are extremely knowledgeable in the process, as you risk damage to your computer.

If you believe that PrivacyGuarantor has been placed on your PC, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware application that guarantees 100% removal of all malware and spyware.

Safety Anti-Spyware is Anti Safe!
Topic: Anti-Spyware

There are tons of rogue security programs floating around in cyberspace, and Safety Anti-Spyware is one of them.  This application claims to detect and remove malware, but is actually an infection itself.  Safety Anti-Spyware displays aggressive security warnings and alerts, and performs fake online scans to make you believe that your PC is infected.

The makers of Safety Anti-Spyware hope that these alerts will scare you, so that you download the scan to detect the threats that are supposedly on your computer.  Then, perhaps you will be persuaded to purchase the full version of the program so that these parasites will be removed, and your security will be restored.  Don't give them your money – this application is malware, and cannot do any of the things it claims to do.

How Safety Anti-Spyware installs

If you are curious as to how spyware installs on your PC, it can be done a number of ways.  You won't know when it actually happens, but you will notice the symptoms soon after.  Malware usually places itself on your PC when you download other programs such as freeware or music, and may install if you visit a questionable website.  Sharing networks and clicking on links in spam e-mails may cause your PC to become infected as well.

Purpose of malware

What does malware do?  It collects information about you and your interests.  These applications track your activities, such as the websites you visit and searches you perform.  Your personal information may be at risk as well, because some spyware accesses your private passwords, credit card numbers and other sensitive data.  Additional spyware may be installed, which will make the problems worse.

How to know if Safety Anti-Spyware is on your PC

If Safety Anti-Spyware or some other malware does install on your computer, there are several things you will likely notice.  Your PC may become slow or unstable, and your home page may suddenly change on its own.  There may be new toolbars in your browser, you may be sent to websites you didn't intend to visit, and pop-up ads will drive you crazy.

When you think that spyware is on your PC, you may be tempted to try to remove it yourself.  This is possible, but it is not easy and only advised if you are extremely experienced in the process.  If not done correctly, manual removal may seriously damage your PC.

AntiAdd is Anti Security!
Topic: Anti-Spyware
AntiAdd simulates a system scan and reports fake threats and infections to the user.  This rogue security program works like most other malware.It displays constant security warnings in an effort to scare you, so that you believe there are dangerous parasites and spyware on your PC.  This is all an attempt to get you to purchase the full product, which is completely useless.

These aggressive warnings and alerts are meant to persuade you to scan your PC with the scan they offer so that infections can be detected and then removed.  What you are not informed of is that after the scan completes, you must purchase the product in order to remove the spyware or other parasites that are found.  These supposed threats are made up, and most likely you have no infections.  AntiAdd cannot scan your PC, or detect anything whatsoever.

Signs of malware

How will you know if AntiAdd or any other spyware is on your PC?  There are some usual symptoms that usually alert you to a problem.  Your PC may become very slow or unstable, seeming almost to "freeze up" at times.  Constant pop-up ads and security warnings are another sign, along with a changed home page or new icons in your system tray.  Your browser may also send you to strange websites.

What AntiAdd can do

AntiAdd, like most other spyware, actually "spies" on what you do when you are online.  It tracks the searches you perform and the websites you visit.  Your personal information may be accessed as well, leaving you vulnerable to identity theft.  All of these things may be transmitted to third parties, who can then advertise to you by targeting your interests.

How did your PC get malware?

If you have some of the symptoms of spyware but wonder how it got there, here are a few ways it may have happened.  Spyware often installs when you download other programs, share networks or visit malicious websites.  You may get it simply by downloading music or freeware, or by clicking on links in spam e-mails.

When you decide that you have a problem, you should do something about it at once.  If you have AntiAdd, remove it before the problems get worse.  You can do this manually, but this poses a high risk of severe damage to your PC unless you really know what you are doing.

If you suspect that AntiAdd has been installed on your PC, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware tool that guarantees 100% removal of all spyware, malware and other "badware!"

NSAnti - An Accomplice to Spyware
Topic: Anti-Spyware
NSAnti is a compressing utility that is often used by malware creators for compressing an executable file.  Why do they want to do this?  It helps in creating malicious code, and also helps to hide it from antispyware programs so that it cannot be detected.  Once it is opened, a compressing file such as this one can act as a downloader, which means it will help spread malicious utilities throughout an infected PC.

If malware is placed on your PC, many of these applications advertise aggressively to you, warning of infections and threats.  Most of these programs are designed simply to frighten you, so that you believe you have spyware and will purchase their product.  They are not capable of detecting threats, or removing them.  It is simply a scan created by unscrupulous people as a way to profit.

Symptoms of malware

Most malware, whether it uses NSAnti or not, causes pretty much the same symptoms.  A slow running or unstable PC is common, along with incessant pop-up ads, security warnings and browser redirection.  You may also notice that your home page has changed, or that you are receiving many spam e-mails related to your browsing habits.

What spyware can do

Spyware, including those that use NSAnti to compress files, can perform many malicious activities.  Most of these rogue security programs track what you do when you are online.  The searches you perform, websites you visit, and other activities may be collected and transmitted to third parties.  Frequently, your private information is also at risk as many malware programs have the ability to access passwords, credit card numbers and other business data.  In severe cases, your PC may crash or your identity may be at risk.

Where does it come from?

If you have spyware and wonder how it got there, there are a few different ways it could have happened.  Sharing networks, downloading files such as freeware, music and games, and visiting malicious websites are often how malware is placed on your PC.  There are several ways it can happen, but these are the most common.

When you decide that you do have malware on your PC, it should be removed at once to prevent further damage or invasion of private information.  You can remove it manually, but this is not recommended.  The process is complex, and puts your computer at risk if not done properly.  Use a reputable antispyware application that removes parasites such as NSAnti automatically, and rest at ease knowing that your PC is secure again.
 
Worried that spyware is threatening your PC?  To remove NSAnti and all other malware, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware application that is 100% guaranteed!

Use Kazaap and SHAZAM! Your Security is Gone
Topic: Anti-Spyware
Kazaap may be one of the strangest named rogue security programs out there.  This malicious application is malware, and tries to convince the user that it is a good thing.  Through fake system notifications, Kazaap tries to convince you that threats are on your PC, and that by purchasing their program you can be relieved of the problem, so that security is restored.  Complete hoax!

Kazaap will display security threat warnings and alerts in an effort to convince you that parasites and infections are on your computer.  If you purchase the product they offer, supposedly these threats will be removed.  Kazaap cannot detect any threat or parasite, and the product is worthless.  It is just a scam designed to rob people of their money.

How Kazaap may install on your PC

Kazaap may install on your computer if you do not have a reliable antispyware program in place.  Malware like this often comes bundled with other programs like freeware, shareware and even music or games, although you probably won't be aware of it.  You may also get this nasty application if you visit a malicious website, which will probably look completely safe to you.

Symptoms of spyware

Most spyware has common symptoms that are hard not to notice.  While you won't know when it actually installs, shortly thereafter there are some things you will notice:

•    Your PC may become slow or unstable
•    Your home page may change
•    Your browser sends you to strange websites
•    Constant bombardment with pop-up ads and security alerts
•    Spam e-mails related to your interests and online searches
•    New toolbar in your browser

If you notice a few of these things, you most likely have malware.

What spyware does

Spyware is not good for anything.  What is usually does is track what you do when online.  Your searches, websites you visit, and even personal passwords and other private data may be collected and transmitted to third parties.  Your PC may become slow because these rogue security programs use a large amount of system resources, and run constantly in the background.

If you have Kazaap on your PC, it needs to be removed immediately.  You may do this manually, but if you are not experienced, you are placing your computer at great risk of damage.

To remove Kazaap automatically, visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware tool that is 100% guaranteed and removes all traces of malware automatically.

Does eXPress Antivirus Offer Security?
Topic: spyware
In a word, no.  eXPress Antivirus is malware, although this rogue security program claims to remove just that.  The number one goal of this application is to con the user into purchasing the product to remove parasites from their PC, which it cannot do.  eXPress Antivirus uses aggressive and misleading advertising to trick you into believing that your PC is infected, so that you will buy the product.

This program displays constant security alerts and warnings, informing you that infections exist.  They then invite you to download their free scan in order to find these parasites so that they can be removed.  What they do not tell you is that once you run the scan, you must pay for the fully licensed version of the product in order to get these infections removed.  eXPress Antivirus cannot scan your computer. Its claims to detect and remove parasites are completely false.

How might eXPress Antivirus install on your PC?

Sometimes simply downloading the free scan will actually place this parasite on your PC.  If you were smart and did not download the scan but got eXPress Antivirus anyway, it could have happened a number of ways.  This often occurs when you download other files, visit strange websites or share networks with others.  Spam e-mails may be the culprit as well.

What does malware do?

Malware and spyware frequently collect information about what you do online, such as the websites you visit or searches you perform.  It may also gain access to private information like passwords, credit card numbers and other business data.  Spyware runs constantly in the background, and starts up every time you log on to Windows.  Your computer may become slow, because these parasites use a good amount of your system resources.  It may also place more malware on your PC, which will make things worse.

Is there an easy way to remove eXPress Antivirus?


Removing it automatically with a reputable antispyware tool is the best way to get rid of eXPress Antivirus.  You can do it manually, but you must know exactly how it is done.  When not done right, manual removal may damage your PC.  This requires locating all related files and values, which is hard for most people because these files can hide from you.

Are you suspicious that eXPress Antivirus has been placed on your PC?  Visit http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/spyzooka for a free scan with SpyZooka, the only antispyware application that is 100% guaranteed and will remove every last trace of malware.
