Protect Shield Image
A fake security program known as Protect Shield was found to produce an abundance of illicit popup alerts once it is installed. Installation of Protect Shield comes as a result of a computer Trojan horse infection. After it is installed, usually without any interaction from the computer user, Protect Shield will start to perform system scans that return bogus parasite results.
Protect Shield is completely unable to detect and remove a legitimate computer parasite therefore it should never be used for the security needs of a PC. The use of a spyware tool is usually needed to eliminate the threat of Protect Shield.
