How to remove CloudGuard (Virus Removal Guide)
What is CloudGuard?
CloudGuard is a suspicious program for the Microsoft Windows operating system and the title of a browser add-on and extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This suspicious program is often detected as adware that displays various pop-up advertisements while users are browsing the internet. This potentially unwanted program can also get onto a computer system and attach to popular internet browsers without detection alongside third-party items.
Potential CloudGuard malware is known to participate in aggressive marketing tactics used to infiltrate a computer system without detection. Once installed, the adware will use browser helper objects, add-ons, and extensions to gather user browsing data and introduce users to targeted advertisements based off user browsing habits.
Information observed and collected includes a user’s complete browsing activities, bookmarks, and history, as well as information users may manually submit online while the program is installed.
Furthermore, adware may come bundled with other unwanted items that can cause different issues and will have permissions set across multiple internet browsers that can allow them to change additional existing internet browser settings. In turn, additional items may cause unwanted browser redirects and start-ups to suspicious websites such as lasaoren.
