Personal Shield Pro
Personal Shield Pro Description
Personal Shield Pro is a clone of other rogue anti-virus software from the WinWeb Security family. Rogue threats from this family, like Personal Shield Pro, will create fake infection warnings, inaccurate system scan results and other false information to make you think that many different infections are attacking your PC. However, this is just part of a scam to steal your credit card information, since Personal Shield Pro can neither remove nor even detect malicious software. Other problems linked to Personal Shield Pro and Personal Shield Pro’s clones include browser hijacks and disabled applications. You can remove Personal Shield Pro, and along with Personal Shield Pro, all fake infection warnings, by using Safe Mode to prevent Personal Shield Pro from starting before you use up-to-date anti-virus software to scan your PC.How the Personal Shield Pro Scam Begins
Personal Shield Pro is likely to be present on a variety of fraudulent homepages and on websites with poor security for file uploads. These sites may describe Personal Shield Pro as being a good security tool, despite Personal Shield Pro’s complete lack of threat detection or removal features. Websites affiliated with Personal Shield Pro may also use Trojan attackers to install Personal Shield Pro on your PC without your consent.
Like all recent members of Personal Shield Pro’s family, Personal Shield Pro uses a shield icon and a streamlined blue interface to make Personal Shield Pro look like a real security program. What Personal Shield Pro will not mention is that Personal Shield Pro is a direct copy of other threats like Security Scanner 2012, System Security 2012, Windows Ultra-Antivirus, Microsoft Antivirus 2013, System Adware Scanner 2010, Advanced PC Shield 2012, Security Shield 2012, Live Essential Platinum, Security Sphere 2012, AVASoft Antivirus Professional, Security Shield/Scanner, System Security, Security Monitor 2012, Smart Fortress 2012, Security Tool, Total Security 2009, Advanced Security Tool 2010, Total Security, Live Security Platinum, System Progressive Protection, Disk Antivirus Professional, MS Removal Tool, System Care Antivirus, Security Shield, Windows Attacks Preventor, Windows Secure Kit 2011, Winweb Security, System Tool 2011 and Smart Protection 2012. Any differences between these rogue security programs are purely a matter of cosmetic tweaks and detection-thwarting measures.
Personal Shield Pro will pretend to scan your computer and continually find Trojans, keyloggers and other threats that supposedly can be removed only by registering Personal Shield Pro for a not-so-small fee.
Your computer is being attacked by an Internet Virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a Trojan-dropper or similar. Threat: Win32/Nuqel.E

How Personal Shield Pro Digs in Deeper to Thwart Your Security
Personal Shield Pro will go further than just making you believe that imaginary infections are on your PC. Infections by Personal Shield Pro may also show some of the following, more dangerous symptoms:
- Browser hijacks that block some or all websites with the sole exception of Personal Shield Pro’s own homepage.
- Crashes or otherwise blocked usage of a variety of applications. Personal Shield Pro is known to attack security and system maintenance targets like Control Panel, and is likely to attack popular anti-virus scanners, too.
Personal Shield Pro accomplishes these things by running itself automatically through startup Registry entries. Instead of trying to clean your Registry manually, which can result in other system errors, you should reboot into Safe Mode or boot into your OS from a CD. This will stop Personal Shield Pro from running and will let you use any necessary anti-virus software to delete Personal Shield Pro, including Personal Shield Pro’s Registry changes.

That’s a wise answer to a tircky question
Doel, can’t you read? how on earth can you think the owner of this site is the maker of personal shield pro? does it mean you didn’t bother to even read the first paragraph of this webpage. plz tell us all how you arrived at that conclusion…..
how many of these posts are by the owner (sock puppet). and it’s funny how some don’t read the information on the webpage, since they think u own personal shield pro (eg Doel)
Personal Shield Pro anti-virus is not anti-virus at all. They created a robber to robed peaple. Hope some one take them to curt.
can’t start pc. When I select "start in safe mode with Networking" it just cycles back to that start-up page. So I can’t download any software. any hints?
you guys saved my ass! I cannot thank you enough.
Please remove this Personal Shield junk off my PC NOW! I hope to God that your advice works. keeping fingers crossed as I attempt removal right now.
what do i do if i purchase personal shield pro? do they have my credit card to use now against my will? I am scared because it was a debit card of mine and i don’t have much money to cover additional charges. I called visa and the lady told me to call my credit union also to let them know what happened.
This is just like the personal shield 2.20 program. they have the same interface and luckly i used your spyhunter to remove it AGAIN. why does this mess come back on my sons laptop. i think he is watching porn again.
WebViewer, you are correct. At first I thought this site was bogus but after using the download malware scanner I know 100% it is legit. That program found personal shield pro and removed it. Excellent work! Many thanks to this removal report and its creators!
Charlie, thanks for telling me that the download worked. I almost did not use it but somehow it was able to stop personal sheild from loading on my screen. thx!
BOOM! Spyhunter worked for me. Took a risk on trying it be in the end you guys rocked! Thanks again!
How to get rid of this I did not ask for it
NEED REMOVAL TOOL
how do you get rid of this Personal shield pro, when it wont let you open the malware romoving software?? it is really annoying!!
What is Doel saying, this site is for anyone to remove the fake Av not the company who distribute it.
Has he read the webpage?? If he has then he should read it again, as he has clearly misunderstood what it says.
I think its very good, and have successfully remove this Fake Av from my machine with it answers.
Well done SpywareRemove.com.
IAM DONT HAVE SERIAL KEY..AFTER BUY YOUR LOGICIEL ENTI VIRUS SHIEL PRO..PLEASE HELP ME
I had luck with spyhunter. not sure what doel\’s deal was? although i did a safe mode boot and things moved along faster and then BOOM, personal shield pro was gone on my next reboot. many thx to you guys!
The real problem is your program. My PC just fine before the program Personal Shield Pro into my system. Please stop the product you make, because I feel more disturbed by your product rather than a robber on the streets. you better beg in the streets rather than producing such anti-virus which is annoying ..
