CloudGuard is a program that acts much like an add-on component in an attempt to offer up services to help you with securing your computer or devices. The CloudGuard app is able to display random advertisements on a computer after it is used or initiated. Usually the loading of CloudGuard will take place after installing random freeware programs or bundled software applications. When that takes place, CloudGuard is apt to displaying random ads as pop-ups or banners sometimes when surfing the internet where they prove to be intrusive and annoying for some computer users. The CloudGuard program must be completely removed to stop the ads that it generates on any affected computer. In most cases CloudGuard can be eliminated through use of an updated and trusted antispyware tool.
