The name “Windows Shield Center” may conjure up images of your computer being safe, but that’s the total opposite of what this rogue anti-spyware app does. This particular piece of malware enters your system via Trojan programs that impersonate the popular Microsoft Security Essentials. They appear as alerts or updates for your system, and if you aren’t a careful user, you may end up clicking on it. The other means by which Windows Shield Center may enter your system is via fake online scanners.
No matter by which method this piece of software enters your system, you’ll be in big trouble. What it does is to start fake “scans” of your system, while blocking legitimate programs from doing their work. You will be then bombarded with messages about how your system has been compromised and that several applications have been blocked for your safety.
This app also alleges that your “lsass.exe” is corrupted – a tactic that is sure to put the scare in the ordinary computer user. Scareware like this is aimed at frightening users into doing their bidding – which is what Windows Shield Center offers.
All of your problems would be solved if you just buy the full version of the program, is what it says. Don’t believe it. This is a scam and you need to remove Windows Shield Center from your system as soon as possible. To find out how, read on.
