Windows Premium Shield Removal Guide

Are you seeing only a black window with a kind of program running when you start your computer? It is very probable that you have Windows Premium Shield or other similar programs on your computer. Windows Prime Shield belongs to the FakeVimes family as it is usually classified as a rogue application. Do you wonder how this program acts and what its main purpose is? We should tell you that Windows Prime Shield has been mainly designed in order to extort money from computer users. Thus, its main purpose is to scare you into believing that your computer is infected with different malicious software. Thus, if you ever meet Windows Prime Shield, Windows Prime Booster or other programs which work on the same template, you should not believe any word of it as they all act as fake anti-spyware tools.

Windows Premium Shield is designed in such a way that it would look like a decent tool for those who will see it. It is worth mentioning that it is basically aimed at Windows XP users because it has chosen the interface very similar to this version of Windows. However, there are no guarantees that other users will not notice it. Moreover, Windows Premium Shield takes all the measures to convince computer users that they have a variety of infections. First of all, it performs a full system scan once it gets onto the computer and then provides you with a list of threats that have supposedly entered your system. You should know that these threats are non-existent; however, it does not mean that there are no other serious infections on your system, for instance, Trojans.

What is more, you might think that Windows Premium Shield is legitimate for another simple reason. It shows various fake pop-ups and warnings which state that your system is infected. Do not believe these notifications (you can see a couple of example below); it would be better to ignore them and try to remove Windows Premium Shield as soon as possible. If you refuse to do that, you will not be able to access your desktop. It means that you will not be able to access your documents and programs installed on the system as well.
