1. Introduction
It is rogue security software usually dropped by a trojan and installed on the computer without the user's informed consent. Just after the program is launched it starts to search the computer for malware and finally generates scan report, which is fictitious as a result to make PC user think that the system is insecure and needs to be cleaned. So the victim is offered PrivacyGuarantor for malware removal, but theretofore commercial software version must be purchased. We do not recommend to buy PrivacyGuarantor as it is not able to clean PC properly, nor able to act as a real-time protector.
