How do I get rid of Security Shield? - Jack - 05-05-2013 01:26 PM
Somehow I managed to download some security shield thing while trying to use profile banner on facebook. It seems that I get a popup every minute (at least) from this program warning me of viruses and such. I cannot find a way to stop it/delete it. I tried using the control panel operation to delete it, but every time I click on it I get another notification from Security Shield and it wont let me load that program. Does anyone know how to delete or stop it?

You would not find security shield in control panel.
Try fake-registering it like written here : http://www.technibble.com/rkill-repair-tool-of-the-week/ and using one of anti-malware tools :
