ErrorGuard Description

ErrorGuard is a fake anti-spyware program that is often downloaded and installed by a Trojan or through browser security holes. Error Guard launches on Windows startup and may generate large numbers of popup adverts. It will also display notifications of imaginary security risks in its attempts to get the user to purchase the full version. ErrorGuard can be extremely difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself. ErrorGuard has previously advertised through Claria/Gator.

I discovered that ErrorGuard seemed to interfere with the operation of my Roxio. I have uninstalled it but there is an executable file that is in the C:\WINDOWS directory. How do I safely remove this? How do I safely remove an unwanted executable file from the C:\WINDOWS directory?

I had Error Guard. What a mistake. Tons of popup adverts, problems with start up and performance, even obscene emails. I bought Pop UpBlocker and some other programs, plus some free downloads and updates from . Problems seemed to be recreating themselves - was it my imagination? Hell no. A great friend turned me on to your site and explained this problem to me. What a lesson. Thank you for all of the explanatory information you provide, as it enriches the learning lesson for the user, and enhances prevention goals and objectives. And my PC is working better all of the time. I teach Beginning Computing at the Senior Center here, and this material is definitely included in lesson three. Thanks again. Readers, read and learn - and save yourself time, money and miseries.
