Remove Security Tool. Description and removal instructions
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.

Used my trick of re-start, load Malwarebytes to scan before rogueware loads... scanning, scanning, blue screen... restart and... it's gone??? O.o
No, it's not gone. But it didn't load up on restart. Scanning now, gonna take pleasure in deleting THIS one.
2nd = delete some file
3th=restart the computer

-When you said Safe Mode and delete so and so files...which ones specifically? Can someone list em?
My solution was: start computer in safe mode and delete the specific files, including "run-regedit-find file---- and the rest is history. Chris
