My Security Shield removal instructions (Uninstall Guide)

My Security Shield is a piece of malware that pretends to be a legitimate anti-virus software. Actually, it's pretty generic looking rogue anti-virus program that may arrive on the compromised computer as a manually install or may be downloaded by other malware. Usually, My Security Shield is promoted through the use of fake online scanners and infected websites. It prevents other applications from being executed and displays fake security warnings. MySecurityShield reports false scan results and states that your computer is infected with various viruses, adware, spyware or other malware. As a typical rogue anti-virus program it will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections. It goes without saying that you should uninstall this virus from your computer instead of buying it. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to remove this fake program from a computer, thankfully we've got My Security Shield removal instructions to help you. Please follow the removal instructions below. 




While the rogue program is running, it will flag harmless files as malware infections. In fact, My Security Shield drops several files on the system and later detects those files Trojans, worms or other malicious software. This misleading application adds itself to the list of programs that start automatically when Windows OS starts. It will hijack Internet Explorer and other web browsers. It may display search results from findgala.com instead of Google. And of course, it may block safe security related websites and legitimate anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. Last, but not least, you wouldn't imagine a rogue program without fake security alerts and pop-ups from Windows taskbar. My Security Shield has it all. The fake program may display any of the following warning messages:
Warning! Virus detected
Threat Detected: Trojan-PSW.VBS.Half
Description: This is a VBScript-virus. It steals user's passwords.
