What Live Security Suite does

Live Security Suite looks like a normal antispyware application, but in reality, this program is not able to perform any type of security related functions when installed on a computer. This program created with one purpose to trick you into purchasing the full version of the software.

Live Security Suite is promoted through the use of trojans that come from various misleading websites. When the trojan is activated, it will download and install the rogue onto your computer without your permission and knowledge.

After that, it will perform a fake system scan and list a variety of infections or potentially dangerous files.
