What Security Suite does

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.

Security Suite is distributed through web sites showing online videos that tell you to install a flash update. When this "update" is started, it will put the rogue onto your computer without your permission and knowledge.

When running, Security Suite will configure itself to run automatically every time when your computer starts. After that, it will perform a fake system scan and list a variety of infections or potentially dangerous files. It states that your computer is infected with adware, trojans, worms or malware and that you should purchase Security Suite to remove these infections. Obviously, such results are a fraud, the program want to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with malicious software.

While Security Suite is running, it will flood your computer with fake security alert and notifications from Windows task bar. Furthermore, the rogue may disable Task Manager, block legitimate Windows applications from running and hijack Internet Explorer so, that it will display various misleading notifications while browsing the web.
