What is Security Shield?
Security Shield is a rogue antispyware and antimalware program belonging to the same family as that of the Security Tool. Like other rogue applications of this family, it also spreads and gets installed into other systems through other fake malware and fake anti-malware online scanners.
Security Shield once installed into the system gets automatically configured when the system starts. It automatically performs a complete system scan without the consent or approval of the user of the system.
After the scan is complete various infections in the system are displayed by it. Never try to delete these files as these are legitimate windows components and on if these files are deleted then there are chances of the system not working correctly.
Even if you try to remove the Security Shield by installing new programs it won't work as none of the programs will be launched. The following message will be displayed when we try to launch this program:
Security Shield
