Remove My Security Shield - Conduct a Quick My Security Shield Removal

If you're wondering why your computer is under-performing these days you might be

surprised to learn that your trusted anti-virus program could be the culprit, more so if that software happens to be My Security Shield. That's because it isn't a real anti-virus program, but an actual virus disguised as one. Like a virus, it is difficult to remove My Security Shield, because unlike a legitimate program which it is masquerading as, you can't just go into Add Remove programs and uninstall My Security Shield.

This is most certainly not the first case of a virus packaged as an anti-virus program, and the sad truth is it isn't likely to be the last. My Security Shield removal is particularly difficult, because of its "disguise" it is able to linger on your PC for a while and really dig in. While on your PC, it steals confidential private data, any information you might have worth stealing, and it sends the data out to people who will use the information to make money off it if they can.

Because it is very difficult to delete My Security Shield, you'd be well advised to stay away from it if you can. You can get the virus in a variety of ways, one is by using P2P software like eMule or uTorrent, some websites are also browser hijacker traps, so avoid sites you don't really know that well. Another mistake is downloading freeware or shareware that you know little or nothing about. Before downloading any unfamiliar programs, ask a person you know who has a lot of experience with PCs for advice.

If out of the blue, you get a torrent of pop-ups alerting you to that fact that your PC has been infected, this is most likely the start of an infection, and in fact your browser has already been hijacked. The pop-ups will insist that you install software to deal with the virus. The worst thing you can do is the give in to the warnings; you'll wind up downloading the actual virus.

When more advanced users are infected, sometimes they try to get rid of My Security Shield manually. This is a difficult procedure with a slim chance of success here is what you need to do:

Search for and delete any.EXE,.BAT,.DLL and LNK files associated with the virus. Oddly enough the names of the files will usually clue you in as which those files are.

Next you'll need to use the regedit command to remove any references to the virus in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

If it sounds risky, it's because it is, if you don't know what you are doing and if you get it wrong, you could actually do more harm than good. That's why the preferred way to remove My Security Shield even among PC and Windows gurus is a virus removal tool. A reliable virus removal tool can scour your whole system for traces of the virus, and when it finds them it can deal with them accordingly. Virus removal tools will also function as real time protection against future virus infestation.
