Security Suite Virus

There has been a panic on the newest security program that will pretend to be a legitimate Windows tool and that is in the presence of Security Suite virus. Most people would think that because it can load itself and override a computer, removing will be complicated. Well, it is not, in fact you only need a combination of security programs to get it out from the computer.

First you need to download these tools from a clean computer - CCleaner from this link, next is rkill.com from here and lastly MalwareBytes AntiMalware from this page. Get these files on to the CD or USB Flash drive. This will later be use to clean the infected computer.

Go to the affected system and boot it is Safe Mode, this can be done by pressing the F8 key repeatedly once turned on. You will have the choices on how you would like Windows to be loaded. Choose “Safe Mode with Networking.” It will take some time before the selected choices is loaded. A “Safe Mode” desktop will show a different and minimal configuration.  

Install CCleaner, just follow the prompts and install with default settings. After installation, click on Cleaner button located on the left pane and select Run Cleaner. This tool will delete unnecessary files from the computer including temp files, cookies and recycle bin.

Go to the folder where rkill is located, it was designed to stop any malicious process running on the infected computer. Again, this will take time, but be patience, this step is important in successfully removing Security Suite virus processes.

Install MalwareBytes’ AntiMalware, proceed with the default settings on the setup. It will prompt if you want to update its database after the installation, please click Yes. MBAM will download needed updates and will restart once finished. On the interface, be sure that you are on “Scanner” tab. Select Perform Full Scan and click on Scan to start cleaning your system. When scan is complete, it will will display a button, click Show Results to view infected files detected. Select all and click on Remove Selected to start deleting malicious files. This will be the final step in removing the threat. Restart the computer and all you have to do is to make sure that you will have a protection this time. Install an antivirus and anti-malware program. Set them to automatically update to have the fresh definition files. Always install Windows and other software updates that will patch any vulnerabilities on the computer.
