Webshield Enter Product Key Tech Support Scam Removal Guide

When the lock screen of Webshield Enter Product Key Tech Support Scam appears on your screen, you may feel hopeless and may not see any way out than calling the provided alleged customer support telephone number. You need to know that this is yet another fake alert that tries to scare you to call the given phone number so that a useless security tool or service could be sold to you. Since this fake alert locks your screen, you may really believe that there has been a hacking issue as this warning suggests. However, calling this phone number would only connect you to a salesperson and not certified technicians who could help you sort this issue out. This fake alert could be due to a Trojan infection that has entered your system recently without your knowledge. This is possible when you install a free program from a questionable source, for example. The presence of such a malware threat usually indicates there there may be other infections also hiding on your system. Therefore, we recommend that you remove Webshield Enter Product Key Tech Support Scam right away and detect all other potentially harmful programs as well so that you can take action before it is too late.

The most likely way for you to end up with such a Trojan or any other malicious threats like adware programs and browser hijackers is to infect your system with the content of a malicious software bundle. This is possible when you want to download free, hacked programs, or other files (audio and movie) from suspicious freeware or torrent pages. Such P2P sites are used to promote third-party installers that usually pack a couple of malware infections and potentially unwanted programs alongside legitimate free software as bait. When you install such a bundle, always go for the custom or advanced option and do not choose quick installation because this is how you may miss what additional tools or browser setting changes could be added by default. We recommend that you always use official and reputable pages to download software and updates. But you can also let such threats onto your system by clicking on the wrong third-party ads on suspicious pages (online betting, free gaming, and dating) or when your PC is infected with adware. It is essential that you make sure that there is not one single infection or potentially harmful program on board before you go online. An infection like adware can, for example, can display unsafe third-party ads and even hijack legitimate ads to take you to malicious websites. This is why we tell you to use a reliable free online malware scanner to identify all threats after you delete Webshield Enter Product Key Tech Support Scam from your PC; there could be other infections requiring your immediate action.

This fake alert is a bit different from the usual ones, including "Microsoft Has Detected A Porn Virus Scam" and "Firewall Detecting Suspicious Incoming Network Connections Scam, " which are usually displayed after you are redirected to a malicious webpage that claims to be a Microsoft error page or something similar. This infection actually locks your screen with its warning and may even kill your main system process, explorer.exe. This fake warning claims that there has been multiple hacking attempts against your system; therefore, you have to enter your product key before you can use your PC. Since you may not have your Windows product key in your mind or you may not find your install DVD, you may want to try to call "877-565-7127," the supposed customer support number to talk to a "certified technician" who can help you fix this serious issue. However, this call may cost you more than just a few minutes of your time. You could be lead to believe that if you pay a certain amount, this technician can fix this issue and protect your computer.
