GuardPCs looks like the latest entry from the wini family of rogues. (They just keep churning out new ones every other day it seems.) They’re using the same template these days of course, just the names change. This one, as the others, is pushed through bogus video codec or flash player updates. Note that I said BOGUS codecs or updates…. typically someone will be searching for the latest hot new video that everyone seems to be talking about and they’ll come across a site that claims to have it, but darn the luck, you have to download this update (wink wink) to be able to see it. There you have just bit the fat juicy worm that was bait and you have been hooked. At that point their frustrating software starts to invade your system and you held the door open for it. It will now pop up many alerts and warnings and complaints about your computer security (or lack thereof) and will scan your machine and claim that you have viruses which it is unable to remove until you purchase it. As you can see this is a scam, merely a ploy to separate you from your money. Read on for how to remove guardpcs.
