Do you know what is MycomGuard?

MycomGuard will act in the following manner, once it has gained access to your machine, and has been installed. Once you start your computer, you will find that an entire scan is being done, that will generate false scan report results. This means that MycomGuard will actually create these results on purpose to trick you. Each person who has MycomGuard on their machine will receive the exact same set of fake results. MycomGuard will bombard your computer with lots of false security system notifications that may appear authentic. MycomGuard will tell you how wonderful and effective it is and will promise to clean your entire computer and delete all the malicious threats which it has found.

In non-techie terms:

You need to know that all of this is one big scam and that only real threat you have is MycomGuard itself. MycomGuard will not get rid of an error that your computer has, like the name suggests but will rather create errors itself. This is one big manipulative scam in order to try to get you to part with your hard earned money. It is imperative that you delete MycomGuard from your machine, upon immediate detection.

Aliases: My com Guard, My comGuard, Mycom Guard.
