Remove Smart Guard Protection-Malware Security Suite

Smart Guard Protection Properties


Smart Guard Protection is a rogueware which is also called fake anti-virus program. Such program filches the interface and copy the content as well as functions of the genuine anti-virus program. In other word, Smart Guard Protection doesn’t possess those functions, it simply displays that it has them and that’s all. Therefore, paying it and getting its so called advanced version will not help with detected threats or harms.

By cheating PC users into paying it, Smart Guard Protection manages to get easy money. But one should also be clear that there’s another way to get easy money for extra income: collect the input information on the counterfeit registration page and resell it to other operators who long for contact details so as to deliver sales letters and messages.

Uninstall Antivirus Security Pro – Steps to Uninstall Antivirus Security Pro Quickly

‘I am operating a Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit system.  Antivirus Security Pro appeared after I opened something that I never should have opened.  Microsoft security essentials detected several problems and continues to do so.  Now I am wondering if it even is MSE detecting anything.  Each time I reboot that Security Pro is appearing everywhere with warnings.  Clicking on Internet Explorer brings up http://us.yhs4.search.y - that's as much as I can read on the first tab - with a warning that the site I am attempting to view may harm my computer, though I had merely began typing bleeping computer.  Trying to open Firefox or Chrome brings up a warning that they are infected.  Any program that I attempt to open, another security warning pops up.  I tried to open Outlook to view your email and click on the link for the DDS program and it tells me that Outlook.exe is infected.  When looking to see if I still have DDS it says Pictures (1) PTPortletServices.  I cannot find Antivirus Security Pro in add/remove programs.  It is in programs.  Looking at properties the network path is \\ACER-PC\Users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Antivirus Security Pro. ’
