Remove Dr. Guard fake antivirus program (Free removal)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Dr. Guard is a fake antivirus program. It reports false system security threats to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with various malicious software. It also displays fake warnings to make you think that your computer is under attack from a remote computer and that your personal information, passwords can be stolen. Furthermore, it will even create porn icons on your desktop. How rude! Finally, as a typical rogue program it will ask you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections and to ensure full system protection against new threats. Sounds great, but unfortunately this is nothing more but a scam. Please don't purchase it! Otherwise you will simply lose your money. Instead, follow the Dr. Guard removal instructions below and remove this virus from your computer ass soon as possible.



Dr Guard is a clone of Paladin Antivirus. This one is also a rogue security application. Both programs look the same (use the same graphical user interface). Most of the time, DrGuard is promoted and installed through the use of trojan viruses and other malicious software. However, please note that it can come bundled with other malware too, mostly with widely spread TDSS rootkit. The bad news is that if you got Dr. Guard with this rootkit then MalwareBytes' Anti-malware won't help you, because it can't remove that rootkit at the moment. On the other hand there is a free tool for TDSS removal from Kaspersky lab. More details on this can be found in the removal guide below.

Once running, Dr. Guard performs fake system scan and displays a list of infections that can't be removed unless you buy the program. The rogue program attempts to uninstall legitimate anti-virus software if it founds one on the compromised computer. It tries to uninstall MalwareBytes anti-malware, NOD32 Antivirus, AVG, Avast!, Avira and other better known security programs. This is kind of self-protection method. What is more, it may block security related websites too. And finally, Dr. Guard displays a bunch of fake security alerts and notification from Task Manager. It even impersonates Windows Security Center and suggests you to buy the rogue program. You should ignore them just like the false scan results. You can see some of the fake Dr Guard alerts in the images below.







There shouldn't be any doubts. Dr. Guard is absolutely needless and even dangerous program. Please remove from your computer upon detection. Full details on how to remove Dr. Guard from your computer for free cab be found below. Also note, if you already purchased this fake program then you should contact your credit card company as soon as possible and dispute the charges. If you have any questions don't hesitate and leave a comment. Good luck!

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Please follow Security Tool removal instructions and remove this infection from your PC as soon as possible.

How to remove Antivirus 2010 (Uninstall guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Antivirus 2010 is a fake (rogue) anti-virus program. It reports false system security threats and displays misleading warnings to make you think that your computer is infected with malicious software. Usually Antivirus2010 claims that it has detected many harmful or infected system files related to trojan viruses and computer worms. The scan results are false so you may safely ignore them. Besides, this fake program reports the same infections on every compromised computer. If you are reading this then your PC is probably already infected and most likely you see the following threats in the scan report or misleading pop-ups:

• Spyware.IMMonitor
• Spyware.IEMonster.d
• Win32.Rbot.fm
• Trojan.Alg.t
• Infostealer.Banker.E
• Spyware.KnownBadSites
• Trojan.Tooso
• Trojan.Clicker.EC
• Zlob.PornAdvertiser.ba
• Trojan.MailGrabber.s
• TrustedAntivirus
• Trojan.BAT.Adduser.t
• and etc.

Current Antivirus 2010 GUI:


Old Antivirus 2010 GUI:


The main goal of Antivirus 2010 is to trick you into purchasing the full version of the program. Of course, you shouldn't do that. This is nothing more but a scam because it prompts you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the threats which don't even exist in the first place. You should follow the removal guide below to remove this infection from your computer for free using legitimate anti-malware programs.

Once installed, Antivirus 2010 creates malicious startup entry so that the rogue program will start automatically every time you logon to Windows. The malicious startup entry launches wingamma.exe which then starts AV2010.exe. The rogue program impersonates Windows Security Center as shown in the image below and states that yous must purchase Anti-virus 2010 in order to protect yourself.



The rogue program also displays fake Blue Screen of Death screen to scare you and make you think that your computer has crashed because of SPYWARE.MONSTER.FX_WILD_0x0000000 infection. The funny thing is that you can actually close this fake screen just by pressing Alt-Tab or Control-Alt-Delete.





Antivirus 2010 hijacks the desktop background too:


Last, but not least, Antivirus 2010 hijacks Internet Explorer and displays fake warnings while surfing the web. One of the fake warnings reads: Internet Explorer Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer! See how this fake warning looks in the image below.



As you can see, Antivirus 2010 is absolutely needless and even dangerous program. Don't be fooled and don't pay for it! If you already bought it then you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Next, read the removal instructions below and uninstall Antivirus 2010 from your computer a soon as possible.

Total-scan.com browser hijacker description and removal

This rogue program displays fake warnings and prompts owners of the compromised PCs to pay for a full version of the program to remove the supposed infections. If you were somehow redirected to Total-scan.com and installed the rogue program, then please follow Security Tool removal instructions to remove this virus for free using legitimate anti-malware programs.

How to remove MyWebSearch adware (Uninstall guide)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

MyWebSearch is a toolbar for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome classified as an adware, search page hijacker by most anti-spyware programs. It's a part of Fun Web Products suite which also provides the following products:

• SmileyCentral
• PopSwatter
• HistorySwatter
• Incredimail free version
• Popular Screen Savers
• Cursor Mania
• FunBuddyIcons
• MyFunCards
• MyMailStationary
• MyMailSignature
• MyMailStamps
• MySpeedBar
• MyWay Search Assistant
• FunWebProducts

Some of the above products can be installed with your permission and consent. How rude! The authors of MyWebSearch claim that it's not spyware and that they don't collect any identifiable information. This product appears to be fun and useful, but actually it may be very annoying and even dangerous, potentially harmful. MyWebSearch may slow down your PC, display unwanted ads and pop-ups while browsing the web. Also if the page that you are looking for is not found or not available at the moment My Web Search will redirect you to MyWebSearch search page which is called My Total Search or home.mywebsearch.com.

Most potentially unwanted applications or adware get that label for installing toolbars on your system. It's common practice for freeware developers to bundle their programs with toolbars such as MyWebSearch and other applications in an effort to find an extra source of income, for example redirecting search results through search.mywebsearch.com.. The problem with this is that developers will often try to sneak these extras into your computer, and they usually succeed if you're the type of user who doesn't carefully read through every page of a program installer.

How can that be? Well, the next time you install freeware, pay attention to every page. You will eventually come to a page with a pre-checked prompt stating that you've agreed to install a toolbar or adware application. Aside from installing that application, it may even go further as to change your computer settings to make it the default application in association to some other program, usually a browser. It's a sneaky tactic, but you can't fault freeware developers for it because it can still be argued that you were given a chance to uncheck the box. Protection from these types of programs can be done simply by reading through each page of an installer and unchecking the applicable boxes.

Another useful tip is to avoid choosing the recommended option when installing programs. Opting for this usually lets users install programs faster but also makes them bypass the part where you can uncheck the installation of unnecessary extras. Other potentially unwanted applications, while not outright malware, may have one or two characteristics of such programs. The PUAs might actually have been installed because of these characteristics. A program that manages a computer's registry can be flagged down, for example, as a PUA, but if the user is aware and actively using application for that purpose, then all is well. To keep this program from being constantly flagged by an installed anti-virus or anti-malware program, just adjust the settings of the anti-virus to ignore it.

A relatively harmless yet unwanted program should uninstall easily through Control Panel. Just find the program in the computer's program list, and click Uninstall. A quick reboot of your system should be done to make sure that the program is completely removed. For programs that don't uninstall completely or won't uninstall through normal means, you may have to run malware scanner that will check to see if the program can be quarantined or removed. There are rare cases, however, in which the potentially unwanted application requires more drastic methods of removal. When worse comes to worst, it may even require you to reinstall Windows altogether. Before you go through this method, make sure that it really is the only option you have. Once you've confirmed that there's no other way, backup all your files to an external hard drive or optical media. This is because re-installing Windows will not only remove MyWebSearch adware, it will also delete all your files and computer settings.

We strongly recommend you to remove this toolbar from your PC as soon as possible. However, if you are happy with it, then it's up to you. Many people say that MyWebSearch removal is quite complicated and that's true. Usually it's not enough to use Add/Remove programs option from Control Panel in order to remove MyWebSearch. Full details on how to uninstall this unwanted toolbar are provided below. If you have any questions, don't hesitate and ask or just leave a comment. Good luck!

How to remove Security Central virus (Free remover)

Don't Copy From This Blog...

Security Central is a fake antivirus program that gives false reports of threats on your computer and prompts you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections which don't even exist. This fake program is a typical scareware. More technically speaking, it's a trojan virus that pretends to be a legitimate anti-virus program.

One way or another Security Central should be removed from the system as soon as possible. The good news is that you can get rid of this virus for free using reputable anti-malware or anti-virus software. Full details on how to remove Security Central are stated in the removal guide below.

Security Central
Spyware.IEMonster process is found. The virus is going to
send your passwords from Internet browsers (Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Outlook & others) to the third-parties.

However, in some cases it may come bundled with other malicious software that may cause system crashes or other errors. Besides, this fake program may block anti-virus software and Windows system tools such as Task Manager and Regedit.

Most importantly, don't purchase it. If you already did then contact your credit card company or bank and dispute the charges.
