Name: Misc.PSGuard Category: Misc Advice: Remove Risk: Elevated Risk Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge. Description: PSGuard is a purported anti-spyware application to scan for and remove spyware from users' computers. PSGuard is known to be distributed through exploits that also download adware/spyware on users' computers without notice or consent. Many victims report having their desktop wallpaper replaced with a blue background to simulate a blue sreen of death (BSOD) warning. PSGuard displays false warnings of spyware on users' machines as a scare tactic to convince the user to pay for the program. The free scan reports false positives but will not remove the alleged spyware unless the user pays to register the program.
