Hello to everyone. This one got me way, way, way bad and I didn't even have to do anything. It's been around for about 2 months.
To save time, I'm going to copy and paste what I emailed to my friend Debbie so she could pass it along while I'm still cleaning up.
Here you go ...
Hi Debbie,

About the Rogue Program "My Security Shield"
<<Snippet>>
My Security Shield Description: My Security Shield is a rogue security program that should not be trusted. My Security Shield can enter a system via malicious online scanners, malicious websites or sneaky Trojans. Once My Security Shield is inside a system, it will create fake malware files and run a bogus system scan which will detect those files as dangerous malware that can only be removed with the “full version” of My Security Shield. Users are advised to ignore all security notifications displayed by My Security Shield and have the rogueware removed from your system upon detection.

That is the screen shot for My Security Shield. Oy!
Here are a few videos. Most of them are boring, but this first one is a must! Look at how rogue programs like My Security Shield creep into your PC and what you can do to prevent it. And, it did all that to my computer ... All over my computer. The "offer" popped up out of nowhere. You don't even have to click it to scan or click it to close it. Once it's crept in, then you're toast! All one does is to click on an unsuspecting Website, or Google anything at all then click on selection you wish to view. That's all it takes and your PC then is loaded with many infections, viruses (including Trojans), other critical malware. It's horrible!
Also, the rogue program's prompt keeps popping up every couple minutes, makes a loud screaming noise, darkens your PC screen, tries to get you to install it. Click on No! Then it asks: "Are you sure you want to remain unprotected?" When that comes up: Click on Yes!
I am serious. Please pay careful attention. Oh, this presentation also has "My Security Shield" on the screen, too ...
