Antivirus Security Suite (or AV security suite for short) is a fake antivirus that is now on the loose. It systematically shuts important windows services down so you can not download removers on infected PC. The single website you will be able to see is AV Security suite's one. However, this parasite is not that hard if you know couple of removal tricks. First of all, one needs to re-enable internet connection. AV security suite uses couple of tricks, but the most often the proxy server is changed to its own process. However, it might change hosts file or DNS servers as well.
Thus the first step is to disable proxy server, clean up hosts file and clean up dns settings. This will allow you to connect to internet and download software you need.
Second step is to stop AV Security suite processes, so you can download and execute software. Press ctrl+shift+esc and stop all processes with garbage names that are launched from your user account. For example, processes called sdhfdhdqw should be stopped. When unsure, consult internet if the process name is known to be good. After that you are good to download proper remover software Like Spyware doctor, Malwarebytes Anti-malware or Stopzilla. If you can't launch the programs, just open task manager again and enter full path to them after picking New Process from menu. You can search on disk for the files with the same name as stopped processes and delete them.
Lastly, you should launch Msconfig and stop the files you have stopped and deleted from execution on the booth. We still recommend having a good antimalware solution with real time protection on your PC, as this is the best defense from similar scams in the future.
