Threat Description:

MyComGuard (alias Mycom Guard) has been added to the vast list of potentially dangerous programs to avoid. It comes into a system with trojans that do know how to find paths inside without notifying the user. MyComGuard has Korean interface (which is actually ok) but it definitely does not act like a regular antivirus tool although it is marketed as such. It uploads its files to your system directory and adds a registry key that makes your OS run the executable MyComGuard.exe every time you boot up your PC. This rogue anti-spyware will load your computer’s processing activity with its imposed scanners which run after you launch Windows and subsequently during your PC use. These scanners are false and report some imaginary results that are by no means to be taken for granted. MyComGuard will also repeatedly display its spoof popup alerts that give you an additional impression that you have a badly malware-stricken workstation that can’t possibly do without its ‘professional’ antivirus assistance. While encountering all these annoying ads from MyComGuard, do keep in mind that this fraudulent software will be sure to detect malicious software even on a perfectly clean computer system. In other words, MyComGuard mimics virus defence activity in order to persuade you to buy its full version (doing which is far from being a good idea). The right method to treat MyComGuard is to remove it on time, i.e. before it makes you suffer the consequences from its residing on your machine.
