Are you annoyed with Smart Guard Protection?
"I am having a lot of trouble with Smart Guard Protection. It is installed itself on my computer and cannot get it off. I have been trying all day and my internet is now barely working at all. Pop ups all the time saying it is infected. I have downloaded different files to get rid, but Smart Guard Protection does not let them work."
"I am a senior, invalid and just lie in bed with my laptop. I get this demonic red shield with an x on it and it keeps popping up stopping everything I do and I cannot delete it. It is making my blood pressure to up and I have not slept at all tonight trying to delete the damn thing. " Many people have encountered such problems.
What is Smart Guard Protection?
Smart Guard Protection is a tough and nasty fake anti-spyware program from the same family as System Tool, Security Tool, and Antivirus Scan. All of these programs have been incredibly successful over the last few months, and it looks like it could be even bigger than its predecessors. Plus, it's just plain obnoxious. If you have this thing on your hard drive right now, you have my sympathy.
Smart Guard Protection spreads through a variety of shady tactics such as misleading downloads, social-networking links, and fake codec updates. Once it gets on your computer, it immediately cripples everything and pretty much takes over. It then sends a lot of Security warning pop-ups to hassle you into paying for their fake "full protection."
As you should have already understood, Smart Guard Protection and its alerts are fabricated and must not be trusted. Please, do not follow the tips prompted by this scam because you will make your computer infected even more.
If you don't want to restore or reset your computer, follow these steps.
First: you need to stop all Smart Guard Protection processes, press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" to open the windows Task Manager. Click on the "Processes" tab, search for the virus, then right-click it and select "End Process" key.
Second: Start your computer and get in "safe mode with networking" and make sure all the tasks were closed.
Third: Remove the virus from registry editor. Click "Start" button and selecting "Run." Type "Regedit" into the box and click "OK."Once the registry editor is open, search for the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run\Random.exe." Right-click the relative registry key and select"Delete."
Fourth: Remove the associated files of the virus and then restart your computer to take it effective.
Finally, you should bear in mind that though this program seems to be a legit antivirus and anti-spyware thing, in reality it is the tricky malware that Smart Guard Protection must be removed completely.
