This guide will give you easy instructions on how to uninstall or get rid of Security Suite for free.


What is Security Suite? (Information)


Security Suite is a fake security software which uses fraudulent strategies by displaying false or exaggerated security issues on your computer rather than any legitimate ones to coerce you into purchasing their software.

When Security Suite is installed, it will display fake warnings about your computer being infected with viruses, spyware or trojans. Security Suite uses the misleading way to win your trust and make you believe that your computer is compromised. It will then suggest that you purchase a full version of it to get rid of the infections. Their bogus product is totally incapable of performing any of the declared functions.

Security Suite is from the same group of rogue security software as AV Security Suite and Antivir Solution Pro.





Follow these preparation instructions to continue:

Because Security Suite sets your browser to use an invalid proxy, you will not be able to surf any websites.

If you are using Internet Explorer, click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options.

  • Now click on the Connections tab and then the Lan Settings button.
  • Under the Proxy Server section, please uncheck the checkbox labeled Use a proxy server for your LAN.
  • Click the OK button. Then press the Apply button and then the OK button. Now that you have disabled the proxy server you will be able to browse the web again with Internet Explorer.

If you are using Firefox, click on Tools and click the Advanced tab.

  • Go to the Network tab and select Settings.
  • Select No proxy and click the OK button and click OK again. Now that you have disabled the proxy server you will be able to browse the web again with Firefox.


After that, download HijackThis from HERE and save it to your desktop.

  • Open HijackThis
  • Choose "Do a system scan only"
  • Check the boxes in front of the lines which look like this:

    O4 – HKLM\..\Run: [random] c:\documents and settings\user\local settings\application data\random\random.exe
    O4 – HKCU\..\Run: [random] c:\documents and settings\user\local settings\application data\random\random.exe

  • Close all opened Windows
  • Press "Fix Checked"
  • Close Hijack This.





Now, time for the removal. You have to start computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, keep tapping F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.
  • Select the option, to run Windows in Safe Mode with Networking.
