How to remove AntiSpywareSuite?

What is AntiSpywareSuite?

AntiSpywareSuite is a rogue anti-spyware program and a clone of TrustedAntivirus, TrustedProtection and quite a few others. A clone can’t be different than the original now, can it? AntiSpywareSuite acts accordingly to that logic: it is no more than a bogus tool, which intimidates users into buying it’s "licensed version".

The most common way of infection is through Trojans, which install the parasite by exploiting browser security holes. Once inside, AntiSpywareSuite will proceed to flood the user with popups and fake system notifications of threats on the system to the point where the poor gullible person won’t know what to do. AntiSpywareSuite will then present him with a solution: using the full ( or "licensed") version of the program, the user will supposedly be able to dispose of the non-existent threats. This is not only false in the sense that AntiSpywareSuite is a fake tool and doesn’t do anything beneficial, it is also false in the sense that there are probably no infections on the system whatsoever. That’s the point however – to extort money by scaring the user.

AntiSpywareSuite.com, the homepage of this "magnificent all-in-one tool", is exactly the same as all the other clones’ websites: same design, exactly same content (with only a switch-up in names), exactly same (and alarming) lack of contact information of any kind and, of course, the same mistakes. Did you know, that AntiSpywareSuite is "The Biggest Leader"? Well, apparently it. And, guess what, so is TrustedAntivirus and all IT’S brothers and sisters. If you think that the person, who registered the domain has a name, guess again. I can feel the credibility flowing in.

Do NOT buy this thing, it’s no good. If you have it – remove it and block AntiSpywareSuite.com using your HOSTS file.

How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as AntiSpywareSuite?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
