My Security Shield

Description: My Security Shield is a notorious rogue anti-malware program related to such heavyweights in the malware field as Security Master AV, Virus Doctor and My Security Engine.

It attempts to trick users into purchasing a software license that is completely fake. My Security Shield gets installed on a user’s system via Trojan viruses that get downloaded through bogus websites which claim to have security scanners and along with fake video codec packs. Once installed, My Security Shield disables all security software present on the system along with essential system tools such as Windows Task Manager and Registry Editor, and proceeds to load at startup. It then performs fake security scans on the system, returning false results that claim that the computer is severely infected with malicious software.

It also displays a large number of fake pop-ups from the Windows taskbar, which warn the user of potential ‘threats’ to the computer. Meanwhile, My Security Shield constantly request the user to purchase the ‘full’ version of the software, claiming that the currently installed ‘trial’ version of My Security Shield is insufficient to completely clean the system. However, it is important to note that My Security Shield is a fake application and therefore its so-called ‘full’ version is just as incapable of scanning or cleaning any system as the ‘trial’ version.
