How to get rid of Av Security Suite?

Question

How do I get rid of it? It affects my account on my computer but when I log into the guest account I can use the internet just fine so I guess my guess account wasn't infected? Is it still safe for me to log into my email and FB on there?

As you rightly have recognised, AV Security Suite is a rogue program. It is a scam, it will scan your system and produce 1000's of threats, all of which is fake but looks very convincing. Then, instead of eliminating these threats, the software will insist you purchase the full program to remove these. You should not do this as you will be buying nothing.



However, the virus works by tracking your internet browsing so can steal all your personal data. The answer to your question is no, it is not safe to access your Facebook or email as the virus has the ability to steal data from it.



You will need an anti malware program to remove this malicious software (malware) - by far the most popular is MalwareBytes.

Answer 4

AV Security Suite is really hard to get rid of. I would offer you free manual removal instructions but this is both very hard and dangerous if you are not a computer expert. If you remove the wrong registry files you can actually do WORSE damage than the virus. The best thing to do is just get a specialized AV Security Suite removal tool. I highly recommend the one I use. You can scan your system for free with it at:

Answer 5

ok,

i had this exact virus yesterday.

well, make sure the virus program (security suite) is open in a window.

press ctrl+alt+del

keep pressing it until it is open long enough to go to applications.

right click security suite and go to "go to process"

try and remember what the process is called, and if you can, end the process.

once you do that, security suite is temporarily disabled.

now go to c:\documents and settings\[your username]\Application Data\

remember, to see the folder you need to be able to see hidden folders.

to do this go to tools, folder options, "view" tab, and check "show hidden folders.

in application data, find a folder that has a name made of a bunch of random numbers and letters.

this is where the virus is booted from.

delete the folder and empty the recycle bin.

if you do have a registry cleaner,use it after the virus has been deleted.

now the virus is deleted, you need to clear up its damage.

reinstall all internet browsers that you use.

well there you go, ^^

if you have any problems in the future, e-mail me @ [e-mail].
