In fact, Shield Soldier should be linked to an old Wini family where all malwares use the same GUI (graphical user interface) and only their names are different in order to trick users. This program is usually distributed with other malware called RegistryClever which just like ShieldSoldier is launched as soon as computer boots up. Both scams then start displaying annoying system scanners and alerts reporting that there have been numerous security programs detected.
ShieldSoldier reports only fake and imaginary viruses detected. It is designed to create many harmless malware files in the beginning of its activity and then later “detect” them as dangerous ones that need to be removed from the system. You won’t be able to remove these detections because that ShieldSoldier will ask paying money for these services. It is not a surprise because ShieldSoldier is created for only commercial reasons. However, do NOT purchase “full”, “commercial” or what ever it is called version of ShieldSoldier because it is a malware which needs to be removed as soon as possible.
The way how Shield Soldier gets on board is very simple: when browsing, users are accidentally interrupted by a pop-up that pretends to be a video codec or a free online scanner. After they click on any of such misleading messages, they unexpectedly let virus inside that later starts appearing with its fake notifications about dangerous activity which was detected.
Removal:Kill malicious Processes from Task Manager:
- F0E84.exe
Location of the infection:
- c:\Program Files\FDFCA\F0E84.exe
Registry Entries to be removed. (Take a backup of registry, before editing it)
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegistryClever
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShieldSoldier HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "TrayScan"
Although it is possible to manually remove Shield Soldier, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend malware and spyware removal applications.
After removing all these files, restart your computer and the issue will be fixed. And don’t forget to do update your Security Software, check the Firewall Settings and the Operating System and finally do a full system scan with the Security Software.
