Well, recently I have something fishy downloaded on my computer called AV Security Suite. At first I thought it was an antivirus program, but after searching on Google I found it was fake. Now this program completely disabled almost everything on my user account. I am not quite sure how to get rid of this virus because my task manager doesn’t open up on my account either. Also it won’t allow me to run AVG, nor Malwarebytes by keeps giving  me fake security alerts. Also when I go to control panel, I cannot see the program there. So what is the best way to uninstall “AV Security Suite”?

How to Remove AV Security Suite?

If “AV Security Suite” suddenly pops up on your computer screen and starts scanning your computer, then your computer must be attacked by a common type of online fraud – Rogue Program. Now there are a number of ways for this rogue antivirus software to access your PC, and the most common one is via fraudulent pop-up windows and fake alerts which try to convince you that your machine has been infected. If you click on any of the fake alerts, this deceitful program can install itself very quickly and then perform destructive activities on the target machines that run with Windows OS, including Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and even Windows XP. As we can see, rogue antivirus programs are increasingly becoming a big problem for both individual computer users at home and for businesses of all sizes. Don’t give them any chance to access your computer, or your computer will be fully messed up.

It must be a disaster for you from the moment AV Security Suite gets installed on your computer. The program can change your computer settings and add it own entries to registry which can make itself run automatically when every time you boot up the computer. Then it starts its trick by scanning the computer for threats and signaling infections, which eventually requires the user to pay the full version to remove those non-existent viruses. In another word, the program is lacking in legitimate anti-malware functionality and its final goal is to encourage you to spend money on a fake ‘full’ version of its software. Although it has a convincing appearance and it scans your computer just like a real PC cleaner, that’s only what the whole process looks like because actually the scan does not reveal any true facts about how your system is functioning for the moment and whether or not it has spyware on board. It just keeps pushing you to pay for the full version and then gets your money. In order to make people believe it is a trusted and useful program that can detect computer problems, it does a lot of things to confuse users.  To be specific:

Operations on the computer will be constantly blocked by the virus screen pop up.
Regular files and programs are reported to contain viruses and are suggested to be removed.
Fake security alerts are displayed continuously.
Internet connection can be affected as well.
Computer is slow in response.
CPU Usage percentage is rather high.
Desktop icons are missing or relocated.

How can I uninstall AV Security Suite completely on Windows?
One of the most annoying troubles caused by this rogue scam virus is that it blocks almost every file or program on the infected PC from opening. Whenever you attempt to open them, you will be told that they contain potential threats that may have infected the system. Users normally don’t have a clue on how to stop this annoying block. In this case, manual removal is recommended in this passage as an efficient way that guarantees a complete fix. Various program files, registry keys and specific modes of Windows will be involved during the manual removal process. Unpredictable consequences may occur if you are not qualified with sufficient computer skills.
