Security Tool Description

Spyware Image
Security Tool is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses fake security alerts and system scan results to make computer users believe that they must purchase the Security Tool program to remove the found threats. Security Tool comes from the same group of attackers that made the fake security programs System Security and Total Security 2009.

Use of Security Tool will not help alleviate the threat of legitimate parasites. Security Tool, through the use of Trojans and malicious websites, can be installed onto your computer without notification. After installation of Security, usually without warning to the computer, it may display the following bogus notification alert:


"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."

It is suggested that notifications like this be ignored and prompt the action of completely removing the Security Tool application from your computer. Detection and removal of Security Tool can be difficult to perform manually so it is recommended that the use of a spyware removal tool be used.

Security Tool or SecurityTool Automatic Detection (Recommended)

Today [1/24/10; approx. 12:45 p.m.] \"Security Tool\" attached itself to my computer and stopped all other programs from running (Including \' start --> system programs--> recover\') until I finally purchased a two year license ($45 or so), via credit card.. When this shows up on my CC bill, I am going to dispute the charge, and not pay it. I haven\'t removed the \'Security Tool\' software yet, but will look into that next.

Security tool has taken over my cumputer completely and won't let me on the internet or delete anything. When I click on anything up pops security tool with dire warnings then wants me to buy it. Another program done the same thing to me in December of 2009 and I had to buy it to get my couputer back. It quit working a couple days ago and yesterday this new Security Tool poped up and took over my computer. The first one was called ANTIVIRUS SYSTEM PREMIUM and it was billed to my credit card as WORLDSANTISPYSOFT.COM I'm sending this message from my other computer.

What to do? Would love to get rid of this virus. No problem purchasing a product that will do the job. However, Security Tool leaves me with a white splash screen with all their bogus alerts. Can't access IE or anything else for that matter. When Webroot attempted to eliminate the bugger it shut down Windows. This is not fun . . .

I can't tell you how happy I am to have found this site! I haven't attempted the removal yet, just got all your info and instructions today. I am going to work on a little later. I guess my comments here is just making it real for me and giving me the courage to attack and successfully fix this thing. I don't want to let my granddaughter down. I got it for her for Xmas, for when she starts college next fall. I'll let you know how I do. Wish me luck...I'm goin' in.

Had this problem last night,yes it does what has already been said here!very nasty. First Of all the virus hides your desktop,go on to your taskbar and right click,tick show desktop,your desktop icons will reappear,now the virus will untick it again everytime you try and open anything else,so keep checking the tasbar setting and make sure SHOW DESKTOP is ticked. I found out that the program is to be found in DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS,ALL USERS,APPLICATIONSit is a hidden file,so to see it you must go to TOOLS at the top of your window,then scroll down to FILE OPTIONS,make sure you tick SHOW ALL FILES. Now look for an 8 digit numbered folder,possibly two of them,make a note of these numbers,open each one you will see the offending ICON for the virus(blue sheild picture in my case)try right hand click,then delete,it may delete it may say cannot delete file being used,one file shoul delete easily(BatchFile),empty your recycle bin. Now rename the virus folder say.....CRAPWARE. Open REGEDIT using RUN(start menu bottom left)type in REGEDIT,your registry editor shoul come up on screen,go to EDIT(top left)go to FIND,put in one of the 8 digit numbers you found,the Registry editor will find any instances of that number,when it does,go to the right hand pane where it highlights that number,right hand click on it then delete,thenuse FINDNEXT under EDIT press enter,again when it finds it delete it. Do this a couple of times with the same number,then look for the other 8 digit number and do the same delete them. When the registry scan does not find anymore just come out of REGEDIT. Try rebooting now go back to the virus folder(s) in DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS,ALL USERS,APPLICATIONS try deleting the suspect files,should work this time. Do a full scan with your Anti-virus software and Spyware software,should work fine now. Bearing in mind all the time I was doing this I had all the nasty pop windows,desktop icons diappearing,I just closed them with the cross top right corner of window and carried on....worked for me,hope it helps.

sorry people the only way to get rid of this trojan is to reformat your hard drive.....before installing a fresh copy of windows you have to put all 0's in where the partion size is....if you cant reformat your hard drive yourself you will have to take it to a computer store and have them do it for you ....any atttempt to remove it in any other way security tool duplicates its self making it that much harder to remove..hope this helps..security tool should be sued

The progrm resides in documents and settings folder,open it,under TOOLS go folder options set to see hidden folders. look for APPLICATION folder ...open,you will find 2 folders with an 8 digit number,try deleting each folder,try renaming each folder. Go to START menu run 'regedit'do a search for the 8 digit numbers,search again and again,delete all file swith those numbers and/or security tool name. Do a search again until the search finds nothing. Should be ok,do a full antivirus/spyware scan afterwards. Roger

I got a much easier way to remove the so called "security tool". it is much more easier and you dont need to download any programs. you just hold the power button untill the computer shuts down (not safely) and turn it back on you should get an "WINDOWS ERROR RECOVERY" screen and boot the computer in SAFE MODE when you are logged on search for the downloaded file and delete it and turn it on again you should be ok this time

AND ALSO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DELETE IT FROM THE RECYIN BIN. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN COMPLETE THIS STEPS CORRECTLY I DID AND FINALLY GOT RID OF IT YAY ME........

Security Tool pretended to be from Microsoft and taken over my computer. It would not allow me to start up my pc and use any files. I think that these people who makes these worm programmes should be captured and sent to prison for destroying people property. I do not want to purchase their software, I do not see why they are trying to force people to buy there infected products. The US government should do something about this urgently.

Simple solution to security tool removal. I wasted 3 hours trying to get it then found this tip that worked perfect without buying something. 1 reboot computer in safe mode. 2 Choose previous restore point (maybe couple days back) 3 Reboot, serious pain in the but virus gone. Restore points work well for this kind of stuff.
