AntiMalwareSuite Explanation

AntiMalwareSuite aka Anti Malware Suite, is a fake anti-spyware application that runs in the background conducting fake system scans and displaying popups alerts for parasites that it found on your computer. AntiMalwareSuite’s popups and scans are all fake and should not be trusted. Anti Malware Suite is not a trustworthy program and is actually a waste of money.

AntiMalwareSuite tries to get you to spend an amount on a full download of the AntiMalwareSuite program which should never be done by you or you run the risk of losing money and possibly your sanity after AntiMalwareSuite starts to mess up your computer.
