The numerous advertisements displayed by Web Guard are created by an adware that seizes your Web browser through changes Web Guard does on the browser settings. Web Guard may display advertising banners and coupons every time you visit a site, even if these advertisements are not related to the website you are visiting. Although you may have downloaded Web Guard voluntarily believing that it will help you, Web Guard may enter your machine bundled with free software downloaded from the Internet. In any case, if Web Guard is installed on your computer and you want to get rid of it, use an anti-malware program that will undo the changes made by Web Guard and remove Web Guard from your computer.
