Windows Prime Shield is a new fake antivirus program originating from FakeVimes rogue family. Infiltration of this program into computers is absolutely illegal. It doesn’t come into PCs according to user’s wishes and intentions. Likewise, the virus doesn’t have any Uninstaller (which doesn’t really surprise us because it doesn’t have a legitimate installer either). The aim of this rogue is to scare you into buying its so-called “ultimate protection”, which is the total waste of funds. In this article you will find out how to remove Windows Prime Shield malware from your computer.

Windows Prime Shield users various vulnerabilities of browsers like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and many others for interference into your computer. For example, you might get the following scary alert, supposedly coming from Microsoft Antivirus:

Microsoft Antivirus has found critical process activity on your PC. You will need to clean your computer to prevent the system breakage.

If you actually click the “OK” button as shown at the image you will have another fake warning, not related at all to Microsoft Security Essential Alert, but yet claiming to be such:

Detected items:
– Trojan-PSW.Win32.launch
– HackTool:Win32/Welevate.A
– Adware.Win32.Fraud

This fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert then prompts you into clicking “Clean computer” button, which automatically downloads Windows Prime Shield virus into your system.
