Security Tool Description:
Security Tool (alias SecurityTool) is a new clone of System Security 2009 and Total Security 2009 rogue anti-spyware tools. Security Tool compromises computer systems by applying dirty backdoor techniques with the involvement of trojan viruses. Once Security Tool trespasses on your PC without permission, it makes some system configuration changes so that its executable will be run at startup. Having deployed that component of its renegade mission, Security Tool starts to annoy the user with the great (and growing) number of its pop-ups that signify the alleged exposure of security risks and other malware issues on the compromised computer. Going even further fulfillment of its plan, Security Tool also uses the heavy artillery, i.e. its fake system scanners that actually present absolutely no informative value because Security Tool has no information retrieval ways from your hard drive as to what’s installed on it. Yet, Security Tool scanners report a variety of digital parasites that must be attended to before it’s too late. If the unsuspecting victim gets busted napping, he/she might follow the further prompts of Security Tool and install its registered software which demands payment first. Please, do not get trapped by Security Tool tricks, remove this rogue anti-spyware application once it shows up in your cyber neighborhood or else it will supercede your actions and attack first, and more aggressively than from the start. Allow us to provide some useful removal tips. Considering the fact that Security Tool usually makes your removal endeavors almost impossible (it blocks antivirus programs downloads, hijacks your desktop etc.), you may find it very hard to delete it. There is a real good method to trick this rogueware, though. Go ahead and try the following. Open up My Computer, go to your Local Disk (that’s ‘C’ drive mostly), double click Documents and Settings and choose All Users folder. When inside ‘All Users’ directory, go to Tools option at the top. Select Folder Options and click on the View tab. There, you should tick Show hidden files and folders and untick Hide protected Operating System files option. Now that you have done this, you will be able to see Security Tool’s folder inside Application Data directory. It’s usually the very first one shown, it has 8 random digits as its name. Double-click that folder, now you should see Security Tool executable – it looks approximately like this 45612378.exe. You need to rename this process to whatever you like (e.g.’456abc78.exe). Save the changes and restart your computer. After this reboot, Security Tool will be knocked down for a short while; additionally, you should now see its icon on your desktop. Don’t waste your time and download our removal tool below. Launch the remover and let it identify and exterminate Security Tool infection. For additional removal tips, please review the comments below (the Task Manager trick proved to work flawlessly too).

How to remove Security Tool manually:
To perform manual removal of Security Tool, you should do the following:
Delete Security Tool corrupt files:
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\4946550101
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\4946550101\4946550101.bat
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\4946550101\4946550101.cfg
- %UserProfile%\Application Data\4946550101\4946550101.exe
- %UserProfile%\Desktop\Security Tool.lnk
- %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Security Tool.lnk
Remove Security Tool associated registry entries:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Security Tool
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run “4946550101″
Please, note that manual removal of Security Tool is a procedure of high complexity and should be performed with extreme caution. Lack of the required skills and even the slightest deviation from the instructions may lead to irreparable system damage. To ensure trouble-free deletion, it is recommended to use the automatic Security Tool removal tool below:

Thanks alot!

For those of you who are having difficulties uninstalling Security Tool, we might add the following tips:
1st Variant:
1. Once your computer starts, be quick and open up your Task Manager. This should be done within literally seconds after reboot otherwise Security Tool bug will prevent you from that. In case Task Manager window vanishes, just keep trying – it will work eventually.
2. Among Task Manager processes, locate one that is all digits (e.g. 12365478.exe).
3. Just right-click this process and terminate it.
4. Now that Security Tool is not running (temporarily!), stick to our instructions, i.e. download the automatic removal solution above and let it take care of the rogue anti-spyware.
2nd variant:
1. Boot into Safe Mode (to enter it, hit F8 repeatedly when your computer is starting up).
2. In Safe Mode, go to Start and choose Run.
3. Type ‘msconfig’ (with no speech marks) and hit Enter.
4. In the GUI that opens up, click on the ‘Startup’ tab.
5. Among the listed startup entries, you need to locate a numbered one (consisting of 5 or 6 digits). Go ahead and uncheck it.
6. If you have Security Tool icon on your desktop, right-click it and choose ‘Find target’, which should open up the rogue’s numbered folder. Proceed and delete everything in this directory.
7. Restart and download the removal tool above. Download, install and launch the remover. Let the removal tool detect and uninstall Security Tool scam.
8. Bid your farewell to Security Tool :)
Try this, it’s an alternative way to bypass some of the Security Tool trickeries.

Thanks admin, you saved my machine. Security Tool can suck it!
October 11th, 2009 at 4:43 am
I have saved this page to my favorites so that I can access it later today when I am at my inlaws trying to remove this from my father in laws PC. This is a vicious, malicious program. Who in the hell does this to people? It just amazes me that some asshole is so hard up and miserable that they want to make others as miserable as they are. Thank God there are people like those here who are smart enough to out smart the idiots who come up with these rogue programs and help folks like myself out. I will try the above reccommendations today. Wish me Luck!!

October 13th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Thanks for the help. Devious people these days. The internet is treacherous. Also i think this is the work of sad people who have nothing to do in their lives.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:04 am
cant thank you enough. The further tips if you are still having problems section above, completely sorted my machine!
October 14th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Thanks a lot, what a pain, this security tool is, I am glad that your step helped me in removing security tool
October 14th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Thanks for the tip, saved me whole load of time! I also found some other suspicious looking files and startup items that were swiftly removed.
October 14th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
hey it worked thanx very much
October 15th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Thanks for this, it really helped.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Many thanks to “admin” for instructions to bypass the interference Security Tool causes to normal startup and to its subsequent removal by an antivirus program. Pity that the program’s originators do not use their evident talents for contributing something beneficial to the rest of the world.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Hey there! Virus creaters are no-lifers + faggots! They fail at life and want other people to fail too -.-
Sorry for the flame
October 16th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
OH my god thank you so much, this dam program was tearing my comp (and my patience) apart. Thank you the people like you who know how to help people like me. And Dam those who made this Rouge Crap!
October 18th, 2009 at 2:00 am
Yeah…
My parents were stupid enough to get into this.
I knew it was a scam before, but i was sleeping that time.
Well, they installed it (hope they never went to bank or something).
So i came here. Thanks for the help.
After restart, if you can see taskbar already, be fast, rightclick it and choose task manager before the program could start. Kill two first proccesses.
Than you can at least browse teh net without being annoyed by this crap.
So, A+ to you
It was splendid
Bye
October 18th, 2009 at 9:10 am

If you uninstall Security Tool rogueware, it should’t affect any information stored on your PC, so all your pictures should still be there :) Unless you do it some way other than described above.
Thank U!
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:45 pm

for step five, i couldnt locate any numbered one with 5-6 numbers. i can located like 5 of the numbered ones with more then 6 numbers. do i uncheck those?
December 2nd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
SUCCESS!! i’m now rid of security tool thanks to admin’s 8 ‘commandments’ =) after my last hiccup at step 7, i was able to figure out that i needed to uncheck and delete all rogue folder information for every single infected login acct on my pc. once i deleted the info on every infected folder, i was actually able to come back to this site and install the remover. security tool was then unable to prohibit the download of the remover & i have my sanity back. admin, many many thanks for sharing the intel !! <3

March 20th, 2010 at 10:47 am
OMG thank you, this really helped. I have not heard about it prior to googling it, after it installed. I have had to cancel my ccard too as it gives the appearance of looking like it is apart of Microsoft (so stupid was I to believe it).
People who have the time to create such horendous programs that can do this to your computers should be punished for the stress, money, time wasting that you go through to remove it.
March 24th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Thank you everyone for all of the posts. I tried it over and over and I finally did it correctly and got Security Tool completely removed.
Thanks Again Everyone!!!
March 27th, 2010 at 1:09 pm

March 27th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Thank you!!! For a technilogically challenged person like me, this is excellant. It was easy to follow the instructions & get rid of securitytool.
March 28th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
It was a little tricky because I was on Windows 7,different than XP, but when I found the “hidden files” block, and clicked OK, it all went away,(pop-ups) I logged on AOL, went to my favorites that I saved on another computer. It’s GONE thank GOD and to the Docter. I don’t remember exactly how I did it, but I hope that I don’t have to do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 30th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
You guys Rock!!!! Done it with the help of the comments about Microsoft 7… It worked… Now back to work….!!!!
March 31st, 2010 at 10:39 am

I wish nobody else had to be afflicted by something so extreeeeemely annoying, but it does cheer me up to see all you relieved people up there! Thank god there are some computer saints like admin here to make up for the computer suckers out there!!!! Sara
April 7th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Thanks for your assistance- it work. Security Tools should be prosecuted.
April 8th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Thank you guys so much! because of you, my computer is spam free!
April 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
i followed the instructions on my daughters computer and got rid of this monster in less than 15 minutes!! the only variation i did was to download the free fix to disk on my computer rather than download to her computer. it ran and installed once i had renamed the 8 digit number something random. i can add too, we had 4 folders in the Application Data Directory that held 4 different copies of the virus, so i had to rename all 4. i was just lucky that i noticed right off the 4 folders instead of one. i am sure my daughter had something to do with getting 4 copies in that folder as she frantically tried to follow the bogus instructions from Security Tool. i tried other sites, but nothing worked until i came here. can’t thank this site and admin enough. thank you.
April 15th, 2010 at 2:25 am
tnx a lot.. no more alarming sound … annoying..
April 17th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Thanks guys! I was pulling my hair out but your usefull tips saved my scalp. Keep up the good work. Noel

July 20th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
HI admin, i have read your instructions again and tried whatever you said, I think I have managed to get rid of the “monsters” as my anti-virus is on again. Hope the monsters will not come back again.
Thank you so much.
Annie
July 25th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
It’s baaaaaaaaaaaack! I really hope the steps listed above correct the problem! Security Tool…LEAVE! (if it was only that easy).
July 31st, 2010 at 1:01 pm
We tried the fix on my husband’s PC but the file did not show up in the Application folder. Did they change the virus? Is there a new procedure? Help!
August 1st, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Karen,
Please try the Safe Mode trick (see comment #2).
Good luck!
August 5th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
In comment 2 for step 4 and 5 you’ve written:
4. In the GUI that opens up, click on the ‘Startup’ tab.
5. Among the listed startup entries, you need to locate a numbered one (consisting of 5 or 6 digits). Go ahead and uncheck it.
however i don’t have any numbered entries (they all consist of letters or letters with some occassional numbers) any ideas on what to do? thanks
August 9th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Sharna,
Is there any item among the startup entries that has an unknown publisher attribute? Or any other suspicious process that normally should not get triggered after Windows startup.
Thanks
August 15th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
The fastest way to delete to Security Tool is to Restart your computer and very quickly as your destop appears click on Task Manager(ctrl+alt+delete) and go on Processes and you will see a process with a description with numbers e.g 2436581 right click on it and end process, now that Security Tool has been stopped go on START then SEARCH and type Security Tool then make sure you right click on it and select OPEN FILE LOCATION when it has been located make sure you right click on it then delete file also remove it from RECYCLE BIN. After that, you should run the removal tool above to make sure all components of Security Tool get exterminated for good.
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:30 am
OMG..OMG… Thank you.. I love u man… U tottally saved my computer’s life!!!!! I dunno how I’m going to repay u… XD I’m so happy… Stupid security tool!!!!

Thank you. Your advice and directions were perfect. I caught Security Tool on my netbook and had to use the Safe Mode to get rid of it. Worked perfectly,
November 7th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Thank you so much.. I never thought I’d get rid of it. I had to use a few different suggestion. Jamaal’s suggestion helped so I was able to get on quickly……Thanks again. I hope it’s gone–It was exhausting!

So I did all of the steps but I don’t understand some things. Once I get to the Application Data folder I double click on it, and the first thing that does pop is another folder with tons of random numbers. But the thing is once I click on that folder there is another folder in there that has like, 3 random letters, and inside of THAT folder is like 6 different icons. And it also says in the instructions that “it looks approximately like this 45612378.exe” but the folder with the numbers on my computer has more than 8 digits, and looks nothing like those numbers. I’m very very confused, and I would just like to remove this virus from my computer because we really need it right now. Please help me! I’m begging!

when doing the first steps when you look in the C drive and go to Documents and Settings then All Users i couldn’t find Tools. I’m not really ‘in the know’ about this, im only 13…so I just skipped straight to downloading the remover. I hope it works because its installing right now on my laptop. Glad I have 2 computers!
December 8th, 2010 at 5:31 am
Ive run Norton, it forund it claimed it had removed it and then found that it was still there, then did as admin said and downloaded and paid for the pc tools program and security tool is still there….. has the software chnaged recently so this removal procedure doesnt work !!!!!!!!

Try doing the same in Safe Mode with Networking (F8 during startup for accessing).
