Malicious programs (viruses, trojans, backdoors) sometime change the
StartPage to "gain the ground". Spywares use this way to invade
user's privacy by tracking destinations which user visited, and collecting
personal information. In some cases this activity may be totally
transparent to the user.
But most often this is just plain annoyance when start page is changed
without asking user's permission. SPG effectively deals with all this
problems, making surfing the net safer, more secure, and by reducing
frustaration - more fun. StartPage Guard (SPG) protects your PC from
cyberscam, by detecting and preventing any unauthorized changes to your
internet browser's Start and Search pages. It is also capable of removing
automatically most of known "invaders".
