Incognito Private Shield Unwanted Application

What is Incognito Private Shield?

Developers promote Incognito Private Shield as a program that provides online protection. It allows users to browse the web anonymously without leaving any trace (removing all browsing history, chat conversations, downloaded files, and so on), however, developers distribute this program by bundling it into the set-ups of other software.

This increases the possibility that people will install it unintentionally. For this reason, Private Shield is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

Most people arrive at allneed[.]pro unintentionally - they are redirected to the site by a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that is installed on the browser as an extension, plug-in, or add-on.
