Remove Web Shield

Web Shield is an unwanted tool that gets installed into our computers though freeware setup programs. Web Shield is presented in its official website as security tool even including a Norton logo as an attempt to fool users; not one thing of what’s said on this website is true.

First of all, users that have Web Shield installed in their computers haven’t done it consciously. Here’s what happens: a user is browsing from some new software or is looking for a streaming website to catch on with his/her favorite TV series, like Game of Thrones… all the sudden the user sees a message asking for an update for the web browser. If the user doesn’t take the time to read what’s actually being offered by those messages, it ends up with Web Shield installed without noticing it.

Once it’s installed, new Windows processes appear, with names that will attempt to blend in as legitimate services, such as BrowserWeb or ClickOnce. These services are behind the sudden increase in unwanted ads the user will start seeing, besides spying on everything the user does.

Many blogs are now offering supposedly efficient solutions to get rid of Web Shield , you should be careful though, many of them are just going to convince you to download some software that ends up being also an unwanted program and that are hard to uninstall. If you wish to remove Web Shield for free and for good follow along the guide shown below.
