Don’t Trust CoreGuard like I Did

I never thought that I would be tricked by a con artist. I am usually so careful both online and off. I am always keeping my eye open for a scam so that I can avoid it. I guess we all fall prey to those con artists at some point though. Some of them are so good at preparing their con that it is hard to spot them. That is exactly what happened when I fell for CoreGuard Antivirus 2009.

I was looking for an antivirus program because I felt that the security programs that I had had weren’t doing a very good job. I had downloaded them for free, but I had some money that I wanted to invest in some good software. In my search for new security software, I came across an ad for CoreGuard. I clicked on it and was taken to its website.

The program looked fancy and I thought that they really knew what they were talking about. I made a fatal error though because I didn’t research the product very well or look into the company that makes it. I soon had the trial version of CoreGuard downloaded.

After I had the program installed, I ran a scan of my computer and the results surprised me. It said that my previous security programs were malicious! So, I followed the scan report’s advice and purchased the full version of the software. I thought that I was going to have a computer free from dangerous software, but I was wrong.

After paying registration fee for the program, I tried to have it remove the threats that were supposedly on my computer. But no matter how many times I tried, CoreGuard wouldn’t cause anything to happen. It was then that I noticed how slow my computer was running and remembered how I hadn’t really looked into the program to make sure it was legitimate. After a quick search, I discovered that the program was in fact a scam.

I felt like an idiot, but I started a new search. I looked for antispyware to remove CoreGuard and whatever other malware I had. After a lot of research, I finally decided to get SpyZooka. It was the only legitimate antispyware with a 100% spyware removal guarantee. Plus, this award winning program was the product of a company that I knew I could trust. The best part of all is when I ran it all of the threats on my computer were removed and had it working at normal speed again.
