AV Security Suite is another rogue anti-spyware program from the same family of viruses that Antispyware Soft and Antivirus Soft belongs to. These viruses download themselves to your computer through hacked websites or through spam in your email. Once AV Security Suite has downloaded itself, it will install and run startup without your authorization. It will then run a fake scan and notify you of numerous infections on your computer. All these infections are fake and used to trick you into buying the program.
To remove AV Security Suite, you need to start by rebooting into Safe Mode with Networking. When your computer first turns on, tap the F8 key repeatedly and select Safe Mode with Networking.
The virus has also changed your internet connection to use a proxy server and AV Security Suite is set to be your proxy server. It will not allow you to download the tools you need to remove the virus. To fix this, open up Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu and open up Internet Options. Next, click on the Connections tab and open LAN Settings. Under the Proxy Server Section, untick the box labeled, Use a proxy server for your LAN.
Now you need to download Malwarebytes AntiMalware and install the program. Make sure Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware are both ticked. When the program launches and the update is complete, make sure Perform full scan is selected and click Scan. When the scan completes, click Show Results and then click on Remove Selected to remove all of the malware found in the scan.
