My Shield Security is a fake anti-virus application from the VirusDoctor family with the aim to steal your money and hold your computer hostage. Like other rogue anti-virus applications, My Shield Security is distributed, promoted and installed through the use of Trojans. My Shield Security is scamware since it is designed to fool computer users into thinking the program is a legitimate anti-virus program. My Shield Security pretends to scan the PC for viruses and displays virus warning messages that may appear serious but are only web pages with false virus detections.
My Shield Security is a complete scam and is a variant of other fake security tools such as Best Antivirus, Windows Trojans Sleuth.
Trojans can keep My Shield Security on a computer longer than a computer user would want to. To keep My Shield Security on an infected computer, a trojan can change system settings, inject malicious files to the Windows Registry, and disable key tools (i.e. Task Manager) on a computer. Do not download or install My Shield Security. To remove My Shield Security, you should rely on a capable and legitimate anti-malware program.
