How to remove Winiguard

Malware Description:
Winiguard (AKA WiniGuard) is the latest rogue anti-spyware application which is in fact just the opposite to what it’s marketed as. Winiguard is known to get through firewalls and authentication barriers undetected using a trojan that searches your computer security utilities for backdoors. Winiguard is also capable of taking advantage of some of your PC software vulnerabilities to get on board.
Upon infiltration, Winguard typically gains partial control over your system to trigger bogus popups claiming your machine is in danger and needs to be assisted by the Winiguard ‘trusted’ solution to remain safe. The intruder will try to scare you into believing that you are being attacked by spyware. In this case, $45.95 will be the cost of Winiguard ‘licensed’ software and…your common sense. Because Winiguard and the security claims that it generates are all fraud and should be treated as such. In addition to the above, the presence of Winiguard in your system is likely to contribute greatly to its disruption and further infection with more malware. Whenever you encounter Winiguard and its tricky tactics, make sure you immediately perform a system scan to check it for malware.
