What Is Security Suite?



Security Suite might look perfectly legitimate antivirus application. It tries to warn you about all the nasty things that apparently infected your PC and is stealing your data. Or Windows might start recommending it out of blue because they can't handle these parasites on its own. And suddenly all your programs get infected too, including antivirus you had before.
All of this is a scam created to convince you providing your credit card details to "purchase" Security Suite. It is not a real application, it has no real detection engine, it has no legitimate payment processing service. They will try to drain all the funds from your bank account and spend most of it on creating and promoting other rogues similar to this suite.
Sadly, removal of Security Suite rogue is not an easy task: It blocks internet thus one might face problems trying to download a good and legitimate removal program. USB drives might be best option for installing removal software, or one has to fix internet connection first.
Internet connection can be fixed temporally in safe mode with networking. All you have to do is disable proxy server and (optionally) changing DNS servers to safe ones. I would recommend using google DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. During normal operation, Security Suite processes might change proxy server back in couple of seconds, but safe mode with networking is more reliable.
Afterwards it is possible to remove the parasite by cleaning up startup list and scanning with legitimate antispyware or antivirus programs.
