WiniShield
Rogue security application, WiniShield, comes from famed families of Trojans WiniFighter and WiniBlueSoft. Once WiniShield has gained access to your PC, it will run a series of scans that provide false results of infections. The results are either completely false or extremely exaggerated because the files or often placed there by the program itself. The intention is to scare, intimidate and persuade you to purchase the program.
Everything about the “trial version” of the program is false so you can be assured that if you chose to purchase the “full version” or “license,” you would receive absolutely nothing in return. Not only will not receive anything, if WiniShield remains on your computer, you will be presented with a host of problems ranging from sluggish PC performance to browser hijacking. WiniShield will even prevent you from attempting to browse sites that would help you to remove the pest!
If you happened to purchase this program, you would have used safebillsolution dot com (DO NOT GO) for billing. This is also a rogue payment center. Not only are your card details not safe, but WiniShield has no qualms about selling your data to other online crooks who will take you for a lot more than the $50 that you spent on WiniShield.

A few days ago I was warned by WiniShield that I have infected files on my computer. I tried to uninstall this, because it is really annoying, but it was impossible. I asked for some help on forums and someone told me about SpyZooka. I’m glad to say that it worked and I want to thank you for the huge help!
