Purpose of security iguard.exe:
security iguard.exe task purpose and description:
Securityiguard.exe is a file that was most likely installed on your computer by you, as this software would not have been on your new computer when you first purchased it. The actual hard drive folder location is listed below, please verify this location. Spyware and malware programs often use the same or similiar file names and store them elsewhere in different folders on your computer, hoping to fool you into thinking it is a safe file. We always try to list the exact file location of each file here for this reason. This Security iguard.exe program is known as a rogue and incorrect spyware reporting software and is listed on various rogue reports across the internet. If this were on my computer I would remove this immediately. This will also run in your system startup list everytime you reboot. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes.
You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows
"task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active
on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they
get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files
on your computer, for example, security iguard.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very
similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist
as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned.
You can always find the location of security iguard.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but
I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
