How to delete Security Shield? Solved

Question

Hello,

While browsing websites on the internet, a "virus" (Security Shield) installed itself on my computer.
I researched online, and according to what I've read, it's a software that pretends to be an antivirus and detects viruses that I don't have...
I've had it for a few days, and I can't get rid of it...
When it alerts me to fake viruses, I can't close the small window; I have to click "Yes, activate Security Shield," etc., to finally click "yes" when they ask if I'm sure I want to continue without my computer being protected... But the window automatically comes back, I can hardly do anything... It blocks the internet, access to my files, etc...
I know that in safe mode it doesn't appear anymore, but I want to remove it so I can switch back to normal mode... ^^
So if you have any RELIABLE and FREE software to suggest that can remove Security Shield, please let me know which ones :)
Otherwise, I've read that we could manually delete the components of Security Shield, but that it's quite dangerous because a wrong move could crash the computer...
If that's the only solution left, please explain in detail where to find these components and which ones to delete... Because I tried to look and I didn't find anything ._.
(Ps: I'm only 14, I'm not very skilled ^^ )

I look forward to your responses,
Thanks in advance.

Good evening,

You are infected by a rogue, definitely do not pay attention to its alert messages.

1. Restart in Safe Mode with Networking.

2. Download RogueKiller (by Tigzy) to your desktop
● Close all your running applications
● Launch RogueKiller.exe
If the infection blocks the program, you may need to restart it multiple times or rename it to winlogon.exe
● Let the prescan finish, click on Scan
● Click on Report to open it and then copy/paste it into your next message.

See you later

Okay, I'll do that tomorrow in the evening; I have to go to sleep now, I have class tomorrow lol.

Well, folks, I want to let you know that I found the solution! Even simpler than you think :O
Start your computer in safe mode with networking,
- Go to the Start Menu
- All Programs
- Accessories
- System Tools
- System Restore

Then restore to a date prior to when you encountered the "fake antivirus".
Then normally it should be all good!
Well, anyway, I'm no longer bothered by this Security Shield ^.^

Good evening,

Restoration only renders the infection inactive, so if everything is good except for that.
Especially since depending on the type of rogue, it's only the tip of the iceberg.

I advise you to at least run a scan with Malwarebytes
And above all, to update the system and sensitive software because the vulnerabilities that allowed the infection to occur are still present.

Have a good evening

But what's the point of doing a scan? And how can we completely remove it?

Ana kook · Answer

I was also infected by Security Shield! This virus prevented me from doing anything. I couldn't connect to the internet and even couldn't access the start menu! I restarted my PC in safe mode with network support, and I performed the following steps: start, accessories, system tools, system restore. Unfortunately, my restore mode was disabled. So I had to go back to normal mode, do the same steps, and enable the restore. I then tried to restore in normal mode, but that damn virus prevented me from opening the page to create a previous restore point. I finally restored my PC in safe mode; this time it worked since I had enabled the restore in normal mode!!! I advise you once the virus is gone to do a complete scan with Malwarebytes (download it from télécharger.net). You can keep it afterwards. If you use RogueKiller be careful not to keep it! Have a good evening.

So I downloaded Malwarebytes, ran a scan, it detected 2 viruses, I deleted them. Is everything good now?

Thank you LIK74, perfect explanations, it was resolved in 5 minutes!

GGambas · Answer

Thank you to LIK74, it works very well for me :)

For those who, like me, can't restart in Safe Mode:

Click on the "Start" button > type msconfig in the search bar and hit enter > Go to the "Boot" tab > Check "Safe boot", then "Minimal" > restart, you are in Safe Mode.

To return to normal mode, do the same steps but this time, uncheck the boxes ;)

do not keep disinfection tools on the PC, they are updated every day

SHad3x · Answer

stop emergency (faster)
safe mode (f8 at startup, before the "starting windows" page)
internet, search for roguekiller
download roguekiller, run it
scan and delete

if the file returns, safe mode, scan and delete
