Windows Stability Guard is a fake security program belonging to the Rogue.FakeVimes family of rogue security programs. These kinds of infections are created to appropriate the victim's computer system and attempt to trick the naïve PC user to purchase a fake security application with the use of fake error messages, system scans and alarming notifications. Most infections with the FakeVimes family members as Windows Stability Guard come from Trojans acquired from attack websites or through phishing scams and also from fake online malware scans. Regardless of the state of your computer system, these fake online malware scams will claim that it is severely infected and prompt the computer user to download and install Windows Stability Guard to solve this imaginary problem.

What Windows Stability Guard Does Once It is on Your Computer

Once Windows Stability Guard is downloaded and installed, Windows Stability Guard makes changes to the Windows Registry that allow Windows Stability Guard to start up automatically whenever the victim launches Windows. Upon rebooting the infected computer system, Windows Stability Guard will display Windows Stability Guard main screen, deceptively titled 'Windows Advances Security Center.' Windows Stability Guard then runs a fake system scan which will result in a large number of nonexistent infections. However, trying to get Windows Stability Guard to solve these supposed malware infections is useless, since Windows Stability Guard will instead try to convince you that you need to pay for a 'full version' of Windows Stability Guard if you want to remove these supposed problems. According to ESG security researchers, Windows Stability Guard has absolutely no way of detecting or removing malware on your computer system.

The FakeVimes is a huge family that include among its members Virus Melt, Presto TuneUp, Fast Antivirus 2009, Extra Antivirus, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, PC Live Guard, Live PC Care, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus, Smart Security, Windows Protection Suite, Windows Work Catalyst.

Problems Associated with Windows Stability Guard

Windows Stability Guard does not limit itself to displaying false positives. Windows Stability Guard is designed to block executable files, especially those belonging to legitimate security programs which could be used to remove Windows Stability Guard. Trying to open the Windows Registry Editor, System Restore or Windows Task Manager, will also result in Windows Stability Guard being opened instead. Windows Stability Guard effectively takes your computer hostage, refusing to give back control until you pay its ransom. ESG security analysts recommend, instead, start Windows in Safe Mode. This prevents Windows Stability Guard from launching automatically and giving you back access to your own security software. Then, it is simply a matter of using normal anti-malware techniques to remove Windows Stability Guard from your computer.
