CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 Removal Guide

CoreGuard Antivirus 2009, or CoreGuardAntivirus2009, is a rogue anti-spyware program that, like its predecessors, causes confusion among computer users by either naming itself similarly to legitimate anti-spyware programs or by using security alert messages with bogus statements, but CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 has another dimension to its art of deception. CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 can detect legitimate programs installed on your computer and uninstall them.

Once CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 is installed, it uses to its advantage the Registry key that has the list of programs that Windows uses to uninstall programs from your computer.

CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 uses the following message as a ploy to cause confusion and lead you into assuming that it's a legitimate program that is simply having installation issues because it detects the presence of an unauthorized antivirus program:

"There is unauthorized antivirus software detected on your computer. It is recommended you to remove it, otherwise it could conflict with CoreGusard Antivirus 2009."

CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 will use fake security messages to urge you to download their software and will prompt you into purchasing the full version of CoreGuard Antivirus 2009. CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 is part of the same family of rogue anti-spyware programs as Antivirus 2009, Antivirus 2008 and Antivirus 360. CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 will also launch on every Windows startup and may display excessive popup ads. CoreGuard Antivirus 2009 may be difficult to remove manually because it has the ability to recreate itself and remove legitimate anti-spyware programs.
