I had very bad experience in a company of Shield Pro. My computer crashed soon after discovering "invador" (trojan) and I took action to remove from my system immediatly. But on second instance got file corrupt in win sys32 folder.Lost hard drive and all on it. Had to be re-written to factory settings. Luckily, I had very up to date backup. I used Shield Pro for few months prior to this. Aside from asist to bring my computer to the end it made my computer very slow. It took forever to start when ...

PCSecurityShield Anti-virus software review. -Feel cheated!
The website advertised the software at $19:99 with a temporary special offer cutting the price to $9.99. This seemed a good deal and I decided to purchase the software.
At every stage of the marketing and purchase of their Spy ware the product was advertised at $9.99, only at he bottom of the very last page does it mention a 'rebate.'This is easy to miss and clearly intended to be confused with the 'half-price' offer anyway. I have ...

I agree with the comments made in the post by rbrwb on 9th Apr 2009. An additional problem I had with Security Shield 2008 was the update would indicate the Update Files are corrupted. If you do not stop the updates manually it will cause the database to corrupt. It took quite a bit of time to figure out I had to rollback to the last good database. There are no indicators. Got the same responses from Support

I have Security Shield 2009. I would not repurchase or upgrade this software.

Prior to purchasing the software, I got a virus, and I purchased "The Shield Deluxe 2009" as I had heard a few good things about the software. I heard ' great product and great customer support. 'It could not remove the virus from the system, as there was always a few items it could not perform any action against. I found this strange since I had heard good things about the program. The items it could not remove were always ".DLL" files, and I was not able to physically locate them on my com ...

I found the Security Shield 2008 slowed down my computer a lot! I felt the customer service was lousy. Every time I tried to download to my laptop, the download would timeout. When I emailed for help, they told me to use live chat. Live chat started to help and then I found they just ignored me. Still have an unprotected computer. Not sure why I'm paying for protection I don't have!

Security Shield 2008 is easy to install, does not appear to affect computer performance. Overall I wanted to try something different.Once set up, I like it. But if I continue to have problems with the downloads, I will get rid of it. If during the virus update, there is a problem, it can cause the virus list to be corrupted. Rolling it back sometimes works, sometimes does not. Currently I have been waiting 6 days for the download updates to work correctly. I approached their service departm ...

As I didnt get much time to have a functioning computer I cant give this a good review as all problems were related to this program
Before I get flamed:
After installing updates, it slowed the computer to hell, checked ram speeds only using 68mb of ram, soon discovered a virus called "invader" (trojan virus that spreads to network and starts in sys32 folder)
After un-installing and sorting the problem, gave it another shot and same result happened.
Therefore I do not recommend Security Shield 20 ...

When you spend good money for a top pc and it doesn't work as good as you thought, take my advice. Have had problems with pc now for over a year and most of the time this was put down to vista, most of the issues where fixed but always came back without me realising until it was too late, go out and buy the best security on the net, Security Shield 2008. I could not believe that I had 4 of the top ten viruses plus my pc was infected to hell with copies around the pc some up-to 95 infections in s ...

This is a strong and extremely powerful software. Tells me when and how I should react to a virus and trojans! I would give this 10/10 as my computer is now running great, better than when I had McAfee and Norton!

PC Security Shield 2008 is a great computer protection program at an affordable price. It is one of the only anti-viruses that allows you to pay by the month (4.99/month US) instead of a yearly subscription, so if you want to change to different software, you just stop your subscription whenever you like. Thus, potentially saving money in the long run.

As for the software itself, it is highly automated. It automatically downloads and installs updates on an hourly basis, scans your computer for ...
