How to remove Security Tool

Read More About Internet Tools & Resources

Browsing the Internet means people like you and I are using online scanners, when needed we do like to download a new video codec we do need, and in some cases we have been pushed to download some softwares.

(What is it to be pushed to download a software ? From time to time, hackers will enter into websites (legit, good ones !) and modify them to put their own malwares to be downloaded via a mechanism called 'drive by download'. It means the next time an user will browse that website, the site will push to download the rouge program unto the user's system ! If you don't have the right protection or if that piece of code is a very new one, you will not notice you just got infected !)

Of course, as you can guess, this program is not going to do what it claimed it will and the online scan you thought were scanning your system...was a fake one !

Upon re-booting your system, you will notice something is scanning your computer.

Don't be surprised then to read a message like:

"SecurityTool Warning

Spyware.IEMonster activity detected. This is spyware that attempts to steal passwords from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Outlook and other programs. Click here to remove it immediately with SecurityTool"

What did you read read ? Where is Security Tool coming from ???

Security Tool is another malware ! It comes from the same family as Total security 2009 and System Security. All of them are designed to hurt your computer badly and beyond that, to steal your money ! (They want you to make an online purchase with your credit card ! You don't need to do it and you should NOT do it !). All those softwares are also called rouge programs.

The step you did a while ago got your computer infected by Security Tool. It then installed itself into your computer.

Think that this new (and fake !) video code could be responsible for the infection.

Once installed, it will change your System Registry so on each reboot, Security Tool will automatically run. This nasty program is resident in the background.

You will then get what seems a system scan (it is a fake one !) and you will get lots of messages telling you your computer is infected !

It does not stop here ! You will get pop-ups warning you of infections and the following will happen to your system:

 Security Tool will disable your Task Manager, it will modify your Browser Setting, it will deny you to update your security program, it will deny you to access online security-related programs or websites ! Why ? Security Tool was designed to protect itself NOT to be easily cleaned !
 You will quickly find you neither your System Restore is working ! You will notice your computer performance decreased too !

The very bad commercial advertisement telling you to buy the full version of Security Tool (with your credit card !) will eventually appear ! Don't accept that offer ! Security Tool is a malware !

Always remember all those reports about infections are bogus. Security Tool is but looking to get your money and to compromise your system in many ways.
