SpywareGuard 2009 Threat Level:

SpywareGuard 2009 — AKA SG 2009 or SpywareGuard2009 — is more fake anti-spyware software; it’s Spyware Guard 2008 by another nake.

You can thank a Trojan or rogue website for installing SpywareGuard 2009 onto your computer. Once SpywareGuard 2009 is in, SpywareGuard 2009 tries to scare you into buying the “full” version of SpywareGuard 2009 with false security warnings, and by noting harmless files as dangerous.

You can try to get an SpywareGuard 2009 refund here, but I’d save my time and sanity and let it go.

And before you throw your PC out the window to stop SpywareGuard 2009 popups, I’ll show you how to get rid of SpywareGuard 2009 for free.

MSA Security Center Threat Level:

MSA Security Center may be the nasty surprise you encounter when you’re happily surfing.

You most probably owe MSA Security Center to a trojan, virus, or fake software, as MSA Security Center can install itself on your computer without your permission and launch fake security alerts to get you to buy the ‘full’ version - the usual malware blackmail tactic.

Slow performance and annoying popups are the obvious but least MSA Security Center problems; MSA Security Center can also put your privacy and data at risk.

Don’t click on any MSA Security Center popups. Rather hit Alt-F4 to close your browser without clicking on anything, and use the free instructions to get rid of MSA Security Center.
