The Web Shield program was likely piggybacked onto another program that is installed on your computer.  If you do not have malwarebytes go to their website (malwarebytes.org) and from the drop down menu under the For Home heading select the free version to download and install.

 

If you want some background information before going ahead check out this link.  There is a link within to download the program if you decide to do so.

I hope you are using an anti-virus software in addition to Malwarebytes. This is what a fix looks like using Malwarebytes. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/windows-web-shield-removal/

 

You may want to use the paid real time program.
