Internet Security Suite

Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Threat Level:	10/10
Infected PCs:	408

Internet Security Suite is one of the members of a sprawling gang of rogue anti-spyware programs. Unlike a real anti-spyware program, Internet Security Suite will only create fake warnings that frighten you about infections that aren't on your PC. Rogue security applications in the Internet Security Suite group are also capable of hijacking web browsers and shutting down applications without your consent. Because of the latter two behaviors, Internet Security Suite is considered a serious security threat; you should turn to anti-malware scanners to remove Internet Security Suite and avoid any further problems.

Internet Security Suite is One of a Not So Diverse Line of Rogue Security Scanners

Internet Security Suite is part of the same group of rogue security programs as Cleanup Antivirus, Personal Internet Security 2011, Smart Engine, Desktop Security 2010, My Security Shield and My Security Engine. The names of these different threats may all be very different, but their appearances are almost identical, as are their methods of attacking your computer.

Just like many other rogue security programs, Internet Security Suite will create fake infection warnings and other inaccurate system messages to confuse you into thinking that you have countless malware problems. In fact, your only problems are caused by Internet Security Suite and any Trojans that may be related to Internet Security Suite.

Some usual Internet Security Suite fake warnings include:

Warning! Access conflict detected!
An unidentified program is trying to access system process address space.
Process Name: AllowedForm
Location: [executable file path]

Warning! Identity theft attempt detected
Memory access problem
WindowsErrorForm has encountered a problem at address 0x1FC408.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you see this error again, operational information can be irrevocably lost.

Warning! Virus detected
Threat Detected: Trojan-PSW.VBS.Half
Description: This is a VBScript-virus. It steals user’s passwords.

Warning
Warning! Virus detected
Threat Detected: Trojan-Spy.HTML.Sunfraud.a

Trojans such as the ones listed by Internet Security Suite aren't really on your computer, since Internet Security Suite can't detect infections. Even if a program crashes and shows an error like one of the ones you see above, that's only Internet Security Suite causing the crash and then covering over Internet Security Suite's attack with false information.

Given these facts, it shouldn't be hard to turn down Internet Security Suite's offer to purchase an activation key as the solution to your PC problems. Even an activated Internet Security Suite will continue to be a threat to your computer's security until you finally get around to removing Internet Security Suite.

Ridding Yourself of Internet Security Suite

You may have some trouble figuring out what to do while Internet Security Suite is infected your PC, since Internet Security Suite can hijack your web browser to deny access to websites that could contain helpful advice or software. Safe Mode with Networking, which can be used on all Windows computers, can let you use your browser without Internet Security Suite redirecting you.

To remove Internet Security Suite and any related threats completely, you should run a fully-updated anti-malware scanner. Be certain to launch a full system scan instead of a 'quick' scan, since the latter may not search your computer thoroughly enough to find all of Internet Security Suite's components.

If you can reboot your computer, run a second scan, and see no infections, then you're most likely free of Internet Security Suite's presence and can continue with normal operations.

I have been surfing online greater than three hours these days trying to get rid of Internet Security Suite. Finally, someone understands what I need. That is your malware spyhunter scanner. It is a life saver and found this Internet Security Suite right away. Easy to use and remove malware. Good works spywareremoves!!!
