Jqs.exe
Jqs.exe is a bogus threat that appears on security alerts typically created and issued by the fake spyware remover called Windows Security Suite. These Jqs.exe pop-up windows read as follows:
"Windows Security Suite Process Control. An unidentified program is trying to access system process address space. Process name: jqs.exe..."
This Jqs.exe security alert is nothing more than a fake, and ignoring it will unfortunately prove a fruitless endeavor. Following the prompts, however, will cause you to end up wasting money and purchasing the rogue spyware remover Windows Security Suite. To avoid both scenarios, remove Jqs.exe and Windows Security Suite from your PC as soon as they are detected.
