ScreenshotYourPrivacyGuard is a rogue anti-spyware application that is usually downloaded and installed onto your computer by a Trojan finding its way through exploits in the Windows Operating system. Once installed YourPrivacyGuard will generate false notifications of non-existent threats and irritating pop-ups even if you have a popup blocker on your computer. Such actions will consume your machine's processing power and thus will slow down your system or even cause its instability. YourPrivacyGuard's main goal is to trick you into buying a full version, which is fake, therefore it is strongly advised to remove this malware without any hesitation.
