Windows Premium Shield

Windows Premium Shield is a fictitious anti-spyware application which uses a tremendously misleading interface. Some computer users facing the threat immediately link the represented computer scanner with the Windows operating system because of the misguiding name and the attached logo.

Since the threat can modify the Windows shell, you will discover that access to the desktop is disabled, and all you can interact with is the rogue anti-spyware itself. What is more, you may find that keyboard shortcuts do not help you access any Windows utilities. This is due to the fact that the malign infection can block the running of executable files. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend that you delete Windows Premium Shield if it has taken over your personal computer as well. Read more »
