Posted: May 11, 2009

Hypersecurityshield.com Screenshot 1Hypersecurityshield.com is a browser hijacker associated with the infamous rogue anti-spyware program called System Security 2009. Without your awareness, trojan viruses infiltrate the system in order to modify browser settings, causing web-surfing activities to be continuously interrupted and diverted to the Hypersecurityshield.com web page. Here your PC is subject to a free, but fake, online scan that results in nothing more than fraudulent infection reports. This is used to persuade you to purchase System Security 2009 fake spyware remover.

Because Hypersecurityshield.com promotes the System Security 2009 rogue, it can be said that the site was created by the same hackers who are in the business of extorting money from computer users. It is very well possible that Hypersecurityshield.com may load at startup of a Windows PC. Once this takes place, Hypersecurityshield.com may then appear to be scanning the computer for parasites but in reality it is mimicking what a legitimate security tool would do in a situation where the PC is actually infected with malware.

It is strongly suggested that a trusted spyware removal tool be used to rid the system of Hypersecurityshield.com related files or malware before it is able to cause damage to the infected computer.
