Personal Shield Pro v1.0 Virus Removal Guide

Personal Shield Pro, also known as Personal Shield Pro v1.0, is a fake security application. Personal Shield Pro can be removed from the computer and we will discuss below how to remove Personal Shield Pro. Personal Shield Pro comes from a family of fake antivirus programs which have plagued computers over the past few years. The most heavily spread versions are Antispyware Soft and AV Security Suite, which was spread in the summer months of 2010. These versions were updated into Antivirus Action, which had a slightly different look but the same functionality. Personal Shield Pro hopes to trick the user into purchasing Personal Shield Pro. Therefore, there is no option to uninstall Personal Shield Pro since the program wants the user to purchase it. One of the main symptoms is that Personal Shield Pro will block the user from running programs, including Internet Explorer.
