Security Tool- Rogue Anti-Malware Remover- Removing this False Software

Security Tool is a rogue anti-virus remover, a.k.a. scareware, that reports false findings of viruses, trojans, spyware, adware and any other malware under the sun. This is a difficult to remove rogue anti-virus.

Here is a screenshot:

The fake program reports many viruses, trojans, spyware and other malware found but these are false reports. Upon booting the computer PC users will find that it is "scanning" (false) then it starts falsely reporting infections. At this time or shortly after it will ask to register the fake anti-virus program. The program will then ask for a credit card to "activate" the fake program which actually just makes it stop giving multiple popups but still resides in an impossible to get rid of mode of operanda.

Often times users are unable to execute/run their own security programs resulting in multiple problems. Basically, the desktop or laptop is rendered useless. Even USB drives loaded with security programs will not start and may even be deleted from the thumb drive because of the viciousness of the malware program residing on the machine.

This is one of the most frustrating situation for users, understood.
  1. Attempt to backup any data; do not be concerned with backing up the malware as PC Virus Doctors will give you the tools to clean up the backup drive which are included free with paid malware removal.
  2. Stay offline as these malware programs have injected trojans built within including viruses that spread computer to computer.
  3. Do not email other users since this is spread through emails.
  4. This fake anti-virus is spread through legitimate websites, fake adverstisements and fake websites and emails.
