See this Security Shield is a false security client. This malicious software will prevent legit programs like the Task Manager and other real security software from running. Security Tool is a clone of Security Tool, Smart Security, System Tool and Total Security 2009.
On June 9th 2011 a newer version called Security Shield 2011 came out. This threat is similar to the one shown in this guide. Basically it's a clone so either guide should still work for you.
If Security Shield becomes as prevalent as Security Tool than this virus will infect tens of millions of people if not hundreds of millions of people. In 2010 Security Tool was the most common rogue security client to hit the market. It looks like this clone may just be the replacement of that fake security client.
