Remove Guard Pro

Guard Pro is a fake anti-spyware that tries to scare users into paying for a license to the software. It is also known by the name of Guard Pro. This rogue software gets downloaded via Trojans that get loaded on to a user’s system via fake websites and attachments sent with spam emails. After it is installed, Guard Pro establishes itself as a startup application and then proceeds to display a myriad of threat warnings via pop-ups generated from the Windows taskbar. It even flags legitimate system files and programs as dangerous spyware. Guard Pro then asks the user to purchase a license to the software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version is incapable of cleaning the user’s system. However, this ‘full’ version is no more capable of removing the falsely generated threats than the ‘trial’ version is. So spending money on a ‘license’ for the ‘full’ version of this rogue software is utterly useless and may even be harmful to your operating system.
