As computer threats which are transferred online are becoming more and more dangerous for the safety of PC users` personal and financial information, people need to know that sometimes programs that seem to be absolutely reliable are, in fact, deceitful creations of cyber criminals. This is the case with the fake AV application Antispyware Shield. This program pretends to provide effective security services when the truth is that it is just another bogus software.
Antispyware Shield is created to trick unsuspecting PC users into thinking they have some serious computer problems. At the same time, Antispyware Shield tries to make the victim believe that the malicious intruder is genuine anti-malware software. It produces numerous messages to confirm there are many system errors. Furthermore, the fake application imitates a legitimate computer scan and finally it claims there is a long list with compromised or damaged files. The program will assure the user of the infected PC that the only way to solve the problem is to buy the full version of the scam tool. Antispyware Shield wants to leave you no other choice but to pay for its services when, in fact, all of the alerts are only a trick to take the victim’s money.
Even if the tool is purchased, it will not provide you with security services. Not only will it leave your PC unprotected, but it will even put it in real danger. After the intruder has gained access to the machine, it will start causing serious problems. It is able to make it possible for other infections to enter your computer system. It can also try to stop legitimate anti-rogueware applications which are already running. To avoid all of these problems you have to replace the intruder with a genuine security tool and never use fake software.
