   Security Shield is, in fact, malware designed to coherce you into buying the full version. Most of the information the program provides regarding viruses found is false information designed to scare you into purchasing the full product.

   Deleting it can be tricky, but see the links below for a full explanation of the virus, and how to remove it.

   Good luck.

   Try Malwarebytes or Superantispyware.
   You can also try rebooting into safe mode with networking, launching msconfig and trying to disable all startups that are not from legitimate programs.
