IGuardPC

IGuardPC is a rogue security product in the WiniGuard family — one of the many rebrands that appeared in late 2009. Contemporary notes treated it as roughly the 50th clone in that line (The biggest rogue family).

Like other family members, it presents fake infection results and pushes a paid unlock. Do not purchase it; follow the Malware Removal guide for Windows.
