Security Tool is a well known fake security client that is making the rounds right now.  For detailed removal information we recommend you check out this Security Tool Removal article.  If you are in need of a pro to remove this for you then consider this computer support company.

Just by browsing the internet you can become infected, plenty of sites have been hacked and those hackers have placed malicious code all over the internet.

(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 ! In many cases those who get infected were not using any security software or the one they have been using is a free based security client !)

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 ! If you are already infected then a good source for information in general on computer viruses is this virus removal site.  They have many helpful guides to help you remove just about any computer virus.

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 ? What are the origins of this fake client ???

Security Tool is another malware ! It comes from the same family as Total security 2009 and System Security. This program was created for the sole purpose of ripping people off ! (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.

Chances are the step you did a while back is what got you infected in the first place. Then it installed the Security Tool program onto 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 !) you will also see plenty of warning messages telling you that your infected !

There is plenty more were that came from ! For most out there they will get fake security warnings letting you know how infected you are and a for of the below are most liekly to be shown:

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 ? This fake security client does a great job at protecting it’s self and not letting you run security software !

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. This is a borgus security suit that is only here to scare you out of your money.
