What is Windows Prime Shield?

Are you not able to access your programs and documents because you cannot close a strange program called Windows Prime Shield?

Once it gets onto your computer, it performs a system scan and then provides you with a list of malicious software that is supposedly residing on your computer. You will not be able to access your desktop unless you remove Windows Prime Shield from your system. It is because it tends to start before the Windows operating system starts. test test test test

How does Windows Prime Shield work?

Windows Prime Shield seeks to persuade you purchase a full version of it. It displays various fake notifications and pop-ups in order to scare you and make you believe that your computer is full of various infections. Actually, many people are fooled by the publishers of Windows Prime Shield because this fake tool is designed to look like a decent program. First of all, its interface looks very similar to Windows XP so people who are using this operating system might be at the greatest risk because they can easily believe that Windows Prime Shield is a legal program which belongs to Windows. However, other computer users might be scared into purchasing a license as well because of various fake messages, the fake scan that it performs, and the inability to use the computer properly. However, if you have noticed a strange program running and similar messages (see below), please ignore them and then remove the fake anti-spyware program itself.
