If PrivacyGuarantor sounds like an application that will keep your PC safe and secure from spyware and other parasites, beware. This rogue security program is a scam, and is actually an infection itself. Through misleading security warnings and fake online scanners, this program attempts to scare you so that you believe threats exist on your computer. This is done in the hopes that you will purchase the product to remove the threats that do not really even exist.
This application will display aggressive security alerts to you and invite you to scan your PC to detect the infected files. The results you see are fabricated. PrivacyGuarantor has no ability to scan your computer. It cannot detect or remove threats or malware from your PC. If you purchase the product, you are wasting your money. You will get nothing in return.
How malware installs
How does malware become installed on your PC, without your knowledge? This can happen a number of ways. It may happen when you innocently download programs like music or freeware. It can also occur when you visit questionable websites, or if you share networks with others. Spam e-mail links may be the culprit as well. These rogue security programs usually use Trojans which slip through security holes in your system.
How to determine if spyware is on your PC
There are several symptoms of spyware that are common, and you can't help but notice them. If your computer becomes slow or unstable, or you get pounded with pop-up ads and security alerts, you most likely have it. You may also see that your browser is sending you to strange websites, or that your home page has changed. Your system may seem to freeze up making it nearly impossible for you to do anything.
Dangers of PrivacyGuarantor
Most malicious malware, including PrivacyGuarantor, perform undesirable actions. Your searches and the websites you visit may be tracked. Your private information such as passwords or online business accounts may be accessed as well. Frequently, this information is sent to third parties who may then advertise aggressively toward your interests. You may also be at risk of identity theft.
When you believe malware is installed on your PC, remove it immediately. You can do this yourself, but unless you are very experienced it is not advised. Severe damage to your PC may result if not done correctly. The best solution is to use a reliable antispyware tool that removes these parasites automatically. It will restore security to your personal information, as well as your computer.About the Author:
