How to remove Windows Security Suite?

What is Windows Security Suite?

Windows Security Suite is a fake security program, which appears to be a clone of the highly successful rogues Antivirus System PRO and Spyware Protect 2009. Parasites, such as this one are known to use trojans to enter the system, but it is also possible that Windows Security Suite spreads by using a worm. This parasite relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”, which is as functional as the trial.

Upon entering the system, Windows Security Suite will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may be correct by sheer coincidence, Windows Security Suite has neither the ability to detect nor remove any of the threats. Much like any other rogue, Windows Security Suite performs fake system scans, which return results full of false positives (the program labels harmless files as threats). On top of all of this, having this parasite present on the system will result in a significant decrease in system performance.

The home of this parasite, windowssecuritysuite.com, has no relevant information whatsoever and provides the user with lots of completely false information, such as the fact that Windows Security Suite is the best of the best at removing threats. The “awards” are only pictures and there is no contact information, other than a form you can fill out and send into the void. The website itself was created not even a month ago, which would never happen with a legitimate security company.

Windows Security Suite is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block windowssecuritysuite.com using your HOSTS file.

Windows Security Suite is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only Windows Security Suite can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads Windows Security Suite trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, Windows Security Suite offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, Windows Security Suite does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Windows Security Suite, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install Windows Security Suite, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as Windows Security Suite, is nearly impossible to remove manually.
