Also known as: AVSecuritySuite, AVSecurity Suite, AV SecuritySuite, AV Security Suite Basic, AV Security Suite Pro
Type: Spyware
Severity scale:AV Security Suite severity is 72  (72 / 100)
 
AV Security Suite is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Antispyware Soft and Antivirus Soft. Once installed, this fake program will display fake security alerts and state that your computer is infected with spyware, adware and other types of malware. Then it will prompt you to pay for a full version of the program to remove the infections and to make your computer more secure. Of course, that's not true, because AV Security Suite is an infection itself and obviously won't protect your computer from malware. Most importantly, don't purchase this bogus program. If you have already purchased it, then you should contact your credit card company and dispute the charges. Finally, please follow the removal instructions below to remove AV Security Suite from your computer as soon as possible either manually or with an automatic removal guide.

Probably the most annoying thing about AVSecuritySuite is that it actually blocks legitimate software and certain system tools. It may even make your computer very slow. When running, it will display several fake pop-ups and state that your anti-virus or anti-spyware program is infected and that you should uninstall it. Furthermore, it will impersonate Windows Security Center and state that your computer is not protected against malware. It will then recommend you to buy a full version of AV Security Suite. Again, don't do that, otherwise you will simply lose your money. It's very important to mention that you may have to reboot your computer is safe mode with networking in order to remove this virus from your computer. AV Security Suite Basic changes Internet Explorer settings and enables proxy server. You need to restore those settings, otherwise, you won't be able to download malware removal tools from the Internet. If you fins that your computer is infected with this bogus and very annoying program, then please follow the removal instructions below.

system restoring with not do anything retards, go buy antivirus like 40 dollars for a year, unless you dont care. I also think that antivirus companies make the virus so we have to pay for a antivirus,.

i had this virus last night, i was so pissed that i almost broke my screen, i turned off my computer, restart it in the morning and it worked, but i think the virus is still there, if i ever found out who made the virus im going to kill him.

I can't find the process to kill, and Spybot S&D and Windows Defender found and deleted all they could. What now?

How do you remove the virus using Mozilla Firefox? This just tells you how to remove it using Internt Explorer.

DL'ed spyware doctor, almost 300 threats atm. Hmmmmm, mayhaps I should do something about that...

Thank you so much!

I flipped when I saw what was on my system. Only issue is I cannot regain my internet via browser. All other tubes works for some reason. I think it might have something to do with securitysuite hooking into the browsers.

Regardless, thank you so much for this tutorial.

Guys just avoid all the headache by just restoring your system =. In another way take your computer where it was before you got this virus or whatever.

you gotta be hooked up physically on the internet, ie a network cord or cable, the wireless wont hook in safe mode. at least mine didnt.

I never had a problem until I downloaded IE 8! Ever since then my computer is slower, and my yahoo website home page is specialized to a IE 8 address! My suggestion, don't download IE 8!

18. by . 2010-07-12 09:07:18
I currently have Spyware doctor (PC Tools) and also have the AV security suite parasite. I ran a full scan nothing came up.

19. by . 2010-07-11 21:07:25
It also changes the proxy setting in Firefox, but not Netscape.

I was able to dowload and reinstall IE8 and Firefox, rand eset the proxy settings, but I wasn't sure if I got all of the registry settings.

Thanks for the help.
