Privacy Guard 2010 Removal Guide

Privacy Guard 2010 has no intentions of guarding your privacy, however corny it might sound. It is a rogue antispyware that only pretends to be a reliable program. In reality, the only thing it wants is your hard-earned money and Privacy Guard 2010 will damage your computer until you run out of patience and pay for it. Privacy Guard 2010 is dangerous in a sense that it copies the name of a legitimate program and it might be hard to tell it apart from the real thing. However, Privacy Guard 2010 has a distinctive interface that can be encountered in other rogues, so if it is not your first time dealing with rogue antispyware, you should notice that something is fishy about this program at once.

Actually, at first glance Privacy Guard 2010 looks absolutely legitimate. It gives you information about your operating system and your computer configurations, such as your CPU type and what not. It also supposedly analyzes your system’s security, privacy, system information, system utilities, internet security and media tools. Privacy Guard 2010 is quick to announce that there is a license and update error. Not to mention that according to this rogue, your system works only at 38% of its full efficiency level. According to Privacy Guard 2010, everything will go back to normal if you activate the program. Also, take notice of the internet address this program has at the very bottom of its interface: http://www.microsoft.com/protect. This way it makes everything look like Privacy Guard 2010 is an official program that is part of the Microsoft product series.

Along with the “scan” that Privacy Guard 2010 performs (which is common to every single rogue out there), this threat also sends you fake security alert messages such as these:

Warning!
Security alert
Name: taskmgr.exe
Location: C:\WINDOWS\System32
Potentially harmful script execution is detected. It is strongly recommended to run total System scanning.
Deny or Enable Protection.

Warning!
Security alert
Name: taskmgr.exe
Location: C:\WINDOWS\System32
Attempt to modify register key entries is detected. Register entries analysis is recommended.
Deny or Enable Protection.

These messages are not real, as well as the scan results that are there to make you think that you are terribly infected and you need to activate Privacy Guard 2010 in order to protect yourself. Unfortunately, this rogue will certainly breach your privacy if you proceed with the activation, because by activating the rogue you will reveal your banking information to cyber criminals and they will be able to illegally access your bank account and steal your money.

Remove Privacy Guard 2010 immediately if you do not wish you get robbed. There is a list of the files associated with Privacy Guard 2010 that need to be deleted if you wish to remove this rogue manually. However, if manual removal is too complicated for you, do not hesitate to invest in a trustworthy antispyware tool that will take care of this dangerous threat automatically for you. As long as Privacy Guard 2010 disappears from your computer for good, all the methods of removal are acceptable.
