PC Guardian 2010

Posted: April 12, 2010

PCGuardian2010 is also promoted via a fake online system scanner which displays a list of infections that won't be removed until you purchase the program. These infections are all fake and PC Guardian 2010 is useless. Do not fall for this trickery and have PCGuardian2010 and the related Trojans removed immediately.
