Shield-fordesktop.com
Summary
Shield-fordesktop.com was seen presenting users with an article on a promoted Android OS application, offering them a Security Checkup, under the false pretense that their devices are at serious risk, and running a variation of the Your Chrome Is Severely Damaged By 13 Malware! In most cases, rogue websites, such as Shield-fordesktop.com, want to trick or scare users into downloading and installing a promoted dubious application. When deployed on the devices, these applications often turn out to be thinly-veiled adware, browser hijackers or other PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). The alternative is for the hoax website to try and earn illegitimate commission fees by luring users into buying a subscription for an actual software product. In these cases, it is important to remember that the developers and publishers of the offered product have no connection to the deceptive website.
