How To Remove Windows Guardian Virus

As most rogue antivirus applications, Windows Guardian is one of those malware programs that you don’t want to deal with since it causes serious damage. Windows Guardian is a virus that tricks people to accept the installation of its malware tools and utilities by using fake online scanners.

The Windows Guardian virus application will display warnings and fake online alerts that will tell you that your computer is at risk or that it has been virus infected and that you need to dwnload and install Windows Guardian’s utilities in order to remove the threat or the unwanted program. What many people don’t know is that by installing this program, their computers will be infected and this will lead only to further damage: slowness, the impossibility of running several applications at the same time and so on. Therefore, pay attention to what comes next if you want to get rid of this malware program and thus get your computer working properly again.

Windows Guardian is part of the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials and once you pay attention to those fake alerts and allow this fake antivirus program to scan your computer, Windows Guardian will start to download all of its malware files. After the download is finished, you will be asked to scan your PC. By doing so, the program will “scan” your computer telling you that some unknown infection has been found and in order to get rid of it, you will have to restart your PC.

If you do restart your computer, Windows Guardian will take control over all your computer systems. Instead of seeing the desktop icon, you will be presented with a Windows Guardian screen that will tell you about the need of scanning your PC once again in order to remove the virus. After this scan is complete and you click the “x” button, you will see your desktop but there will be a huge difference. This relates to the impossbility of using other real antivirus programs. So, each time you will try to launch your real antivirus program, Windows Guardian will tell you that this program is corrupted and you need to use its utilities and tools in order to remove the infection.

As if this is not enough, Windows Guardian will also ask you to buy all its applications if you want the program to remove the so-called infections. Don’t be fooled and don’t pay for the full package. Thsi won’t get you rid of the virus since all the users who paid for this have been left without money but with the virus further damaging their computers. Windows Guardian is one of those ransomware virus infections that will try damage your computer and that will try to take money out of you as well.

You will receive fake alerts from all of your computer’s programs, start menu, control panel, taskbar and so on. All the software you’ve installed is now unusable since Windows Guardian has disabled them in order to protect itself from the real antivirus program you’ve installed before this infection.
 
  So, if you’ve taken care of these aspects, then you can start the Windows Guardian removal procedure which consists of the following steps:

1. The first thing to do is to download Rkill which is a small tool you need in order to close all the Windows Guardian malicious processes from running.

2. Save the Rkill icon on your infected computer desktop and wait till this tool closes all the malicious processes. When it has finished, the program will close automatically. Ignore all the fake alerts that Windows Guardian will send during this process and leave the malware erros opened. If Rkill doens’t succeed in blocking the virus, you can also try the iExplore.exe or eXplorer.exe which are similar programs.

3. You will now have to fix the Registry files. To do that, you will have to download the Shell.reg file and save it on your computer’s desktop. After that, all you have to do is to launch it and allow Windows to go on with all the necesasry changes.

4. The next thing to do is to download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and save its setup installer icon on the desktop. Close all the opened windows and applications.

5. Install MBAM and don’t change its default settings. When the installation is finished, select “Update Malwarebytes” and “Launch Malwarebytes”. Click on the “Finish” button and there you go. Don’t restart your computer even if MBAM asks you to do so.

6. MBAM will start automatically and you will be asked to update its version. Do that and wait till it finishes and you can see its main screen scanner.

7. Now you will have to select the ” Perform Full Scan” option. This will lead to the scanning of your entire computer and after this process ends up, all the Windows Guardian files will have been detected. You will also be presented with a notification screen from MBAM. Click “Ok” on it in order for the scanning menu to appear again.

8. Click on “Show Results” and select all the Windows Guardian malware files found, then click on “Remove Selected”. MBAM will now start to remove and uninstall the Windows Microsoft Guardian software.

9. After this Windows Guardian removal process is completed, MBAM will display a log file containing all the information related to the scanning process. Close it after you review it and close MBAM, too.
