Windows Antibreach Suite

What is Antibreach Suite?

Windows Antibreach Suite is a fake antivirus program, which mimics the detection of high-risk security threats in order to scare unsuspecting PC users into purchasing a 'full version' to supposedly eliminate 'detected' security infections. Be aware that this program should not be trusted - it is a scam created by cyber criminals.

These criminals make money from PC users who fall for the fake security warning messages and purchase a license key for this rogue antivirus program.

This bogus software infiltrates operating systems via hacked websites, which display fake a Microsoft Security Essentials alert message with the purpose of tricking Internet users into downloading and installing Windows Antibreach Suite.

After successful infiltration, this rogue antivirus program modifies the registry entries of an affected operating system by disabling execution of installed software, blocking the Task Manager, and configuring itself to start automatically on every system Startup.

The main purpose of Windows Antibreach Suite is to make the operating system unusable so that the user purchases 'ultimate protection' (the 'full' version). Note that paying for this program is equivalent to sending your money and credit card information to cyber criminals. Do not buy this program - it is a scam.

Windows Antibreach Suite originates from a family of rogue antivirus programs called FakeVimes. Previous variants were named Windows Antibreach Tool, Windows Paramount Protection, and Windows Antivirus Master.

Cyber criminals responsible for developing these bogus programs maintain identical appearance and functionality of the software and simply distribute them under different names. To avoid system infection with fake antivirus programs such as these, keep your operating system and installed software up-to-date and use legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs.

Furthermore, Internet users should be aware that online security warning messages, which report security infections and offer download of antivirus programs to clear them are not genuine. These malicious pop-ups are employed by cyber criminals to distribute fake antivirus programs - do not trust these online messages.

PC users who observe Windows Antibreach Suite scanning their operating systems for security infections should use this removal guide to eliminate this scam from their computers.
