Hi All,

I have the AV Security Suite malicious/rogue virus.

I used Malwarebyte to remove it and also used Semantic to remove it as well. Malwarebyte finds it on my computer in various places and in my registry key, quarantines it and then I delete it.

Semantic found it buried in my Java program.

The first time I discovered it the Malwarebyte seemed to have removed it. Recently I was on a secure site that required Java to run, as soon as Java launched the AV Security Suite launched itself again and now it is even worse. Malwarebyte finds it and removes it (in Safe Mode as recommended) but after restart it is still there.

This is a very bad virus, it changes your proxy setting from auto find to a bogus proxy that only lets you go to the AV Security website. This is becoming very frustrating and I need help removing the nasty virus.

How do I get rid of it once and for all, I'm in tears here.......

You can try this, It's good and it works. Run it in safe mode. Hitman pro. It's 6 AV engines working together.

(If you download hitman pro you get all the free AV's in one download. Avast, Avira, Trend micro just to name 3. You also get the Super Anti spy ware engine.)





It may come down to the point to where you have to completely delete java. Turn off system restore to. Dump all your restore points. They are infected. If you have to delete Java you can reinstall it here,



http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp





Once you delete Java while in safe mode you should be able to delete all traces of your virus.



Also, Java infections can require a reload of the operating system. If you have the disk that came with the computer it's easy to do yourself.
