Title: Security Tool
Type: Rogue Antispyware

Remove Security Tool. Removal instructions


 
Also known as: SecurityTool
Severity scale:Security Tool severity is 72  (72 / 100)
 
Security Tool is a rogue antivirus application that deliberately gives reports of false system security threats on your computer and displays fake security alerts or notifications to make you think your PC is infected with malware. The misleading application is from the same family as Total security 2009 and System Security. When installed, SecurityTool will be configured to start automatically when you log on into Windows. Then it will imitate system scan and display a variety of infections that can't be removed unless you purchase the program. The files detected during the scan are either harmless or legitimate system files and can't cause any damage to your computer.

Security Tool is pushed through the use of Trojans, fake online anti-malware scanners and other malicious software. It is installed along with Trojans FakeAV that display fake security warnings and promote SecurityTool malware. Once running, the bogus program will block legit programs and especially anti-virus software. Another interesting thing is that if you click on Updates button, you will see "Updating", but actually there is no network activity. It's just another argument why Security Tool is classified as a rogue security application. What is more, this parasite will impersonate Windows Security Center and constantly display warnings/notifications about serious security threats and privacy issues. It may claim that your computer is under attack by an Internet virus or that private data can be stolen. For example:

"Security Tool 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."

To make things worse, SecurityTool will hijack web browsers and block certain security websites obviously to protect itself from being deleted. It should be already obvious that this program is a scam. Do not purchase it. Instead, please use the removal guide below to remove Security Tool from your PC manually for free.

Security Tool made its way to our desktop yesterday. We had difficulty renewing/upgrading our Norton Internet Security purchase with the PC Jump Start service. But Ayman with NortonLive-PC Jumpstart took care of it all for us. We are glad to report that Security Tool is gone and no longer a problem.

Your Remover for Security Tool download wouldn't run for me, in fact nothing would run... no task manager, no Run dialogue, no safe mode. In the end I found your link to Killbox.net, downloaded their app which did the trick!

No apps or exe's will run in normal mode as Security Tool will disable or terminate any app or exe. You have to go into safe mode and follow the instructions above or run your spyware removal apps from within safe mode.

Mine was listed as 53157829.exe ... it appears to be generating random numbers for the file/registry entries it creates on different computers.

I guess the message is that if it's behaving in the way described then it's probably this rogue, even if the number is different.

Hi,
I was able to remove this "virus" by booting into safe mode (pressing F8 when Windows starts) and log on to another account.
Then i removed the registry entries with regedit and deleted the files with Explorer.
It seems the numbers are random.

To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

I almost went crazy removing this one. But somebody gave me this advice and it woked.

Search for the security tool.exe and leave it up. Next go to start and choose log-off but be quick and go your search box and delete the security tool and it can be deleted. it worked for me.

Ok! This is how you remove it...Be faster than it! First make Malware setup a shortcut. When you first log on go quickly to click on it, then follows its instructions fast! just keep clicking next! then click Finish! it'll no matter work as long as you beat the Security Tool startup! It works!

Best way is to do system restore. Instructions can be found using google but this seems to fix the problem. However, you must be really fast when opening it because if you don't open system restore before that shitty virus starts, you'll have to try again. Hope this helps.

The quickest and easiest way to remove Security Tool is to Restart Computer and quickly press F8 and operate your computer in "Safe Mode". Once in safe mode, go to system restore and back date computer to the date before this piece of shit malware infected your system.

This program blocks the ability to get to the registry in order to delete it; as well it keeps you from deleting the program files because it's running and you can't get into task manager either because it blocks it from running. I had to reinstall windows all together.

find the file where is it sitting, using the short cut on your desktop, rename the file, then move it. log off windows and then back on, delete the file and the shortcut, restart windows and its gone, you will need to reset your browser setting, cos it alters them

For me, this also prevented Windows Task Manager in Winodws Xp, so make sure you get it up quickly before it has a chance to block it! Generally, as with most viruses, the best way to get rid of it is to back up your data, then format the hard drive...

Use the Safe Mode - F8 (May need to press F8 a number of times) when you first turn on the computer. Then go to Help & Support under Start and then find
Undo Changes with System Restore. Make changes to previous date and your
computer should restart with no problems!!
All The Best!!

try this!!! first - For the cautious and techno-infantile ...if you do a safe boot - use F8 as windows is loading and then repair or restore from your last update (everyone does have some antiviral software?) the virus will be gone as though it never was!

I just removed this....finally...off my home desktop. Was not running PC Tools until now. Nothing worked to get rid of it except within SafeMode with Networking. Spyware removal did not do it. I needed to download Killbox to remove the file. It named itself c:ProgramData8830502488305024.net

PC Tools does not merely do it with this version. Need to use Killbox in SafeMode to remove the file by name. Use properties to find the name of the file.

you have to reboot your computer in safe mode with networking on.
you then download malwarebytes. run a quick scan.
delete all probems when complete.
reboot computer in normal mode.

to reboot computer in safe mode and vice versa press f8 repeatedly when computer starts up.

Switch on computer in protected mode using key F8. Select working in Safe Mode. Use system restore to go back a day or so before attack. Computer will restart minus the infection. Now do a scan with a virus / spyware check. Its as easy as that!

Thank you so much for the fix (safe mode and system restore). An absolute lifesaver!

If System Restore in Safe mode is NOT an option...how else do I get rid of it?

-When you said Safe Mode and delete so and so files...which ones specifically? Can someone list em?
