Windows Internet Guard comes into PCs through fake Microsoft Security Essentials alerts. They generally present a lot of untrue information about many threats supposedly detected by these fake MSE alerts. Then the alert tells you to download some tool that will supposedly help you to get rid of these threats. So, when you actually decide to click that “Download” button, this is when you automatically download and install the rogue called Windows Internet Guard.

After Windows Internet Guard is successfully installed into your system it will start imitating the system cleanup. So, it will run the fake scanning of your computer and will report the multitude of unreal threats, making you even more scared about its condition.
