Remove ScanGuard using Malwarebytes

[Wolfie]

Hi all,

if you installed the app ScanGuard, you may want to remove it but have a problem doing so, using Malwarebytes, you can achieve your goal, as far as I know, you can use the free version of MWB to do so:

Download Malwarebytes and just use the free version if you don't want their full paid software bundle, the choice is yours:

ScanGuard is regarded as a scam lulling people into believing that their PC is infected and giving them the option to get the paid version!.

See the answer from GeForce2016 here, as it best describes it:

I was prompted to write this after an ad appeared on the MSN homepage, why Microsoft allow ads from such sources is beyond my reasoning?.

I hope it helps.

I was involved in an intense discussion on Scanguard, on another forum, a couple of years ago.
One of the forum moderators, had a respected site of his own.
He produced this blog which is useful reading.
