They have been all created for one purpose only, which is to extort money from computer users. Thus, even though Windows Internet Guard might look decent, you should know that it cannot remove any infections and thus there is no point in keeping it on the system. If you let it stay, you will not be able to access your desktop and even experience other undesirable activities that it will perform.

Because of this, you will be provided with a fake list of infections that supposedly reside in your system after Windows Internet Guard performs a fake scan. You should know that there are no mentioned infections on your system and you should definitely not believe any word of this program; however, you should still check whether there are no other real infections after you erase Windows Internet Guard.

It promises to remove all the existing threats for $99.9 only. You should definitely not buy the license because you will help cyber criminals get rich and thus lose your money. What is more, our specialists have found out that schemers might also use your credit card details for other bad purposes because they will know such important data as CVC2/CVV2, expiration date, credit card number, cardholder’s name and other relevant details. Thus, you should definitely not expect that it is going to help you remove non-existent threats. The best what you can do is to erase Windows Internet Guard from your PC.
