Security Shield

Security Shield Description



ScreenshotOur malware experts have dug into Security Shield and found that it contains no ability to remove viruses and protect you from malware or any of the other functions that it markets. However, Security Shield has shown a marked proclivity towards traditional rogue security program tactics, including presenting itself as a free product while attempting to steal money by forcing you to register it. Since Security Shield hasn’t even a drop of positive features, you should immediately uninstall Security Shield with a genuine security program to protect your computer and your wallet.

The Emptiness Behind Security Shield’s Shiny Marketing


As far as rogue security products go, Security Shield has an exceptionally resilient and multifaceted marketing scheme. You’ll find glowing references to Security Shield on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as scattered throughout the web in general software storehouse sites. Security Shield claims to be able to perform a multitude of unrelated PC security and maintenance functions, but this isn’t terribly surprising, since, although it would be difficult to program a product that had such functions, it’s a cinch to market functions that aren’t present in the first place! Despite Security Shield’s various claims and the persistently positive marketing veneer that it hides behind, Security Shield isn’t capable of performing even one of the functions that it advertises.

Don’t Let Security Shield’s Fancy Image Seduce You into Giving Away Your Wallet


Like other forms of scamware from the WinWeb Security family, Security Shield’s only real purpose is to steal money and credit card information.

You should, therefore, avoid giving away either of these in your attempts to remove Security Shield and stop any of the many problems that it may cause while on your computer. Security Shield hasn’t been linked directly to older scamware like Winweb Security, Live Essential Platinum, Security Scanner 2012, Total Security, Smart Fortress 2012, Total Security 2009, System Tool 2011, Windows Secure Kit 2011, Personal Shield Pro, System Care Antivirus, Disk Antivirus Professional, Smart Protection 2012, MS Removal Tool, Security Shield 2012, Microsoft Antivirus 2013, Windows Attacks Preventor, AVASoft Antivirus Professional, System Security, Security Tool, Advanced PC Shield 2012, Security Monitor 2012, Windows Ultra-Antivirus, System Security 2012, Live Security Platinum, Security Sphere 2012, Security Shield/Scanner, System Adware Scanner 2010, Advanced Security Tool 2010 and System Progressive Protection.

Typical rogue security program dangers that Security Shield variants may incorporate include:
  • Creating fake error messages or infection warnings at random opportunities.
  • Blocking programs, such as anti-virus scanners, Notepad or Task Manager, under the fiction that they’ve been infected or damaged.
  • Hijacking your web browser to redirect you to one of Security Shield’s websites, as noted earlier.
  • Setting your web browser’s homepage to a Security Shield website and refusing to let you change it back.
  • Constant requests for you to spend money on Security Shield to fix any or all of the above problems.

However, there’s no need to pay Security Shield’s rather expensive price to delete it; instead, you can delete Security Shield with any sufficiently-competent anti-malware program.
