My Web Shield

What is My Web Shield?

If you are looking for a free tool that could protect you against malicious content, My Web Shield might seem like a great option. Of course, it is unlikely that you will encounter this advertising-supported program after doing extensive research. On the contrary, you are likely to face it when installing something completely different. That is because this adware is mainly spread by third-party distributors who operate software bundles to spread as many suspicious programs at the same time as possible. Is it possible that much more malicious programs were installed along with the suspicious program dubbed as the Modern Network Protection Tool? Do not rush to say that malicious infections do not exist just because you do not see them. Anti-Spyware-101.com malware research team recommends employing a malware scanner to inspect your operating system and inform you if you need to remove any threats. Hopefully, that is not the case, and you can focus on deleting My Web Shield.

How does My Web Shield work?

Also known as Trojan.Zadved, My Web Shield is an adware helper that was created to record information on behalf of third parties, as well as to showcase third-party advertisements whenever you browse the web. As soon as this program is installed on your PC, cookies and pixel tags are placed to record information about your virtual activity. Also, it might introduce you to third-party cookies. Since cookies are employed by most virtual services, their implementation is not suspicious. However, there is no denying that My Web Shield is suspicious, and trusting it to record every move you make might be risky. Also, the advertisers associated with this adware are unknown, and so you do not know what intentions they might have. This is the main reason we do not recommend interacting with the suspicious ads showcased by this adware either. After all, you will not fully know what kind of content is offered to you until you click on the advertisement, and it might be too late to go back then. Of course, it is always possible that you will not face any malicious or misleading ads at all.

If you expect My Web Shield to stop you from visiting malicious websites, you have been mistaken. This advertising-supported program can warn you about certain risks, but it cannot live up to your expectations. The information represented via ru.mywebshield.com or mywebshield.com is only meant to make you believe that the advertising-supported program can offer you beneficial services. However, these websites do not discuss the adware or its features, and so it is very hard to understand how My Web Shield works. Of course, the users’ reviews at the bottom reassure you that the program is amazing, but do you really choose to trust the reviews of potentially fictitious users that were curated by the developer? Overall, the official information states that the program is great, but it does not tell you anything about it, and that is a sign that this program is fictitious or unreliable.
