Remove WinGuard: How it works

If WinGuard has crept onto your computer, you should remove the adware as soon as possible because it causes an increased security risk for your data. On the other hand, the unwanted adware itself is not dangerous, although quite annoying.

Simple WinGuard removal guide

To remove WinGuard adware, you need to perform several steps. While the unwanted software is not a major threat, it is both persistent and annoying. The following steps are necessary to remove WinGuard completely:

1. First of all, it makes sense to uninstall WinGuard. Go to "Uninstall a program" in the Control Panel, find WinGuard in the list and remove the software from your computer.
2. Often, this is not enough. Now start your browser and find a menu like "Plugins" or "Addons" in the settings. Search here whether an entry of WinGuard can also be found and remove it if necessary.
3. Afterwards, download the free AdwCleaner and run a scan. This handy little tool specializes in adware like WinGuard and will find even the last remnants of the undesirable program.
4. Finally, restart your PC and you will have removed WinGuard completely.

If you still experience problems with WinGuard, go through the above steps again. Statt nur das Plugin zu entfernen, sollten Sie diesmal jedoch Ihren Browser vollständig zurücksetzen.
