Live Security Suite

For Information and Removal of Live Security Suite

Rogue software is a problem that has simply grown as the amount of people using the internet has increased. The intent of such programs is often to make the developers of the program money. The Live Security Suite, as well as other malware programs, thrive on using the average user's lack of knowledge against them. It provides false information about files on a user's hard drive being infected with trojan horses, viruses, or other sorts of malicious software. Users who are less than savvy often purchase the license to programs such as the Live Security Suite when it is not necessary to do so.

The main irritant with the Live Security Suite itself is that, in addition to providing false reports about files, it will often block access to important system functions on a Windows operating system to make it more difficult for the user to remove the program. Commonly it will tell the user that a certain file associated to the system function, such as logon.exe, has been corrupted by rogue software. The blocking of the system function is presented as protecting the user when in fact it's simply deterring them from removing the program.

Removing any sort of malicious software should be a priority once a user finds out they have such installed on their computer. Often there are free anti-malware programs a user can obtain to aid them in the removal of rogue software. Unfortunately the removal of such software is usually a hassle in itself. The Live Security Suite has been reported to prevent users from installing anti-malware programs. The software is very aggressive as it wants the user to make a purchase and does all it can to convince them that it is a necessity. Restarting a computer into safe mode is the easiest way to get around Live Security Suite's measures in removal prevention. This allows the user to access files and system functions that were blocked in a normal boot up of their computer. Users should be aware that many people run into the problem and that their is help available in various forms to aid them in cleaning rogue software from their machine. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Malwarebytes has free malware removal) is a good program to use to safely get rid of Live Security Suite and has good technical support if you find you do need personal assistance. 

Rogue software can be a hazard for many reasons. It slows down the computer's operating speed, can fish for personal information, or, like the Live Security Suite, try to get a user to purchase software, among other problems. It's very important to regularly check one's PC for such programs and to immediately remove them as soon as possible.
