Virus Shield 2009 is a rogue anti-virus program – a fake virus remover, which relies on misleading advertising to sell it’s “licensed version”. This parasite typically uses the Zlob trojan to infect systems. This trojan is usually disguised as a video codec.
Once inside and active, Virus Shield 2009 will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. They sound something like this:
“System Alert. Malicious applications, which can contain trojans, were found on your PC and need to be immediately removed. Click here to remove these potentially harmful items using Virus Shield.”
While this information may coincidentally be true, Virus Shield 2009 has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats and should therefore be ignored. Much like any other rogue, Virus Shield 2009 will perform fake system scans, which produce greatly exaggerated results.
Virus Shield 2009 is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.
