Severity scale:

(55 / 100)

SpyShield is a corrupt anti spyware. It is presented as a security tool, but its methods are deceptive. SpyShield infiltrates computers via web browser security exploits without userâ€™s permission. It can also be installed by dangerous trojans such as Zlob.
Once SpyShield gets on a system it launches misleading security alerts that make users believe their computers are infected. SpyShield offers the same named â€˜security toolâ€™, which displays fabricated results and prompts purchasing the full version to remove the imaginary threats. SpyShield is a scam; itâ€™s not an anti-spyware. SpyShield is a computer parasite itself.
