Windows Shield Center is malware that has to do with the notorious fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert trick. This fracture of malicious code looks just like an average antivirus solution, only forges the regular security functions. Like we have already mentioned, Windows Shield Center gets on your computer using a tactic that involves a legit-looking (but fake) privacy warning message telling you that you got lots of viruses like Unknown Win32/Trojan (rated severe). Some or most of the users who received that alert will select an option that triggers uploading badware files on to the targeted machine. Windows Shield Center will then start exhibiting its activity in the worst kind of way. First of all, it will probably hijack your desktop, i.e. make it unavailable after a PC reboot. This happens because the explorer.exe process gets stopped forcibly. Windows Shield Center will then show you some sort of a scan that reports many infections on your computer. Those detections are certainly false. Windows Shield Center tries to get hold of your money this way. It states that you have security issues, and then insists that you activate its copy to get the problems eliminated.
