How to Remove Security Shield Pro 2011 (Uninstall Guide)

Security Shield Pro 2011 is the registered version of the wide spread malware called Security Shield. A lot of people are being affected by this rogue antivirus software, but we also suspect that the Security Shield Pro 2011 can be distributed separately as an entirely different security product. Often, the infection appears to come from infected websites and fake virus scanners within the browser. The fake AV may load adult-oriented or pharmaceutical websites and report nonexistent infections to convince you that your computer is truly infected with some malicious software. I'm sure you will be promoted to register the program in order to remove the threats, which will ultimately involve giving the scammers your credit card number. Under no circumstances should you register this program! If you some how ended up with this fake antivirus application, please use the steps in the removal guide below to remove Security Shield Pro 2011 from your computer. Good luck and be safe online!
