My Security Shield

My Security Shield description

My Security Shield is a rogue anti-spyware application which is also a clone of Virus Doctor scam. The trojan based software starts its activities as soon as it is installed to your computer. Trojan comes to the system through its vulnerabilities and makes a perfect background for malwares to sneak. My Security Shield downloads itself automatically without user’s knowledge and consent.

Once active the parasite starts to scan your computer and shows numerous pop-ups stating about your machine infections. My Security Shield will flood your desktop with various security threats and fake warning messages. Few of displayed security alerts:

Process Name: AllowedForm

Warning! Virus detected
Threat Detected: Trojan-PSW.VBS.Half
Description: This is a VBScript-virus. It steals user’s passwords.

Malware gains to trick user into believing their computer is severely compromised and has to be healed from viruses. For that it will offer to purchase its supposedly legal version of the program. This is a scam and all information it shows should be ignored. My Security Shield is able to redirect your browser to counterfeit websites that sell the application. The information malware displays is unreliable therefore it can’t be trusted. Use a decent anti-spyware program and terminate My Security Shield upon detection.
