Security Tool Virus Removal
Security Tool is a computer virus pretending to be a security application and is promoted through pop-ups, trojans and malware webites.
It tells you that there is a virus in your computer and will trick you into installing the program. The rogue anti-spyware programs are distributed through websites that simulate virus scans, then the user is told to download the software to clean his PC.
Once installed, the Security Tool will start automatically each time you turn on your PC and log in to Windows. Then it will start scanning your computer and show you a list of fake infections.
When you try to clean the infected files, you are prompted to buy the software.
To get rid of this software, you need MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, a legitimate software that will get you rid of all those rogue applications and malware.
How to remove Security Tool:
* Download MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.
