Web Surf Shield virus - How to remove

Web Surf Shield virus is a Trojan that can infiltrate into random computers and disturb your work on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. It displays an alert when you try to open any website saying that the access to that page has been temporarily blocked and you can continue browsing only after installing a certain update. Here is how the message by Web Surf Shield virus looks like:

Web Surf Shield
Access to this pages has been temporarily blocked. Please take time to download our web shield update below. You can continue assessing this site after installing this update. Thank you.

Once you click on this message, you will be taken to another website and instead of downloading an update you will be asked to take some survey. In fact cybercriminals get money for every survey taken. Not only it is an unfair way to make money but it also badly interrupts your browsing experience.

Web Surf Shield virus does not allow you to access any websites and interferes with your activities online. Usually it affects all of your browsers so even if you try to use a different browser than you usually would, you will suffer from the same problems. It is recommended to remove Web Surf Shield virus as soon as you notice its message popping up on your browser.

Disable all unknown plug-ins in all of your browsers and proxy. Then scan your computer with a reputable antispyware program, for example, Spyhunter, hitman. Make sure you upgrade them to their latest version before running a full system scan.
