Web Guard is adware that causes your web browser to display advertisements and pop-up ads when you browse the Web. Advertisements from this app are boxes that contain different types of coupons and discounts from online shopping websites and displayed as pop-up ads, banners or underlined keywords. Officially, Web Guard should enhance your shopping online experience, but this browser extension is not as helpful as it should be. Mostly, Web Guard annoys you and disrupts your normal browsing experience.
