Get-shields.com is an untrustworthy website that exists for the sole reason of running various online tactics. It must be noted that what users encounter on the site could differ based on their specific IP address, geolocation, and possibly other factors. That is why cybersecurity researchers have observed the Get-shields.com site carry out several different schemes.
In one instance, the page displayed a fake article promoting a mobile Android application. Other users could receive an equally as fake message disguised as a 'Critical Alert' warning them about malware threats or PUPs that may have infected their devices. Get-shields.com has also been confirmed to run a version of the 'Your Chrome is severely damaged by 13 malware!' scam in an attempt to convince visitors to install a dubious application. In most cases, hoaxes such as these ones are used as a way to distribute intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that may possess adware, browser hijacker and even data-harvesting capabilities.
