Security Warning

Is Security Tool a Real Antivirus Client?

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.

In plenty of cases a legit website may of been hacked, I run several sites and have had one very popular site hacked more then once.

(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 ! Plenty of folks out there do not use security clients or are usign a free based client that does not provide enough protection !)

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 delete virus 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.

The below messages are just a few of the warnings meant to scare you into purchasing the product:

"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 ? Were is this Fake client coming from ???

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. It then installed itself into 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 !) Please note that you will get a ton of security warning telling you that youre infected !

That is not all it does ! 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 but into this faek product ! Security Tool is a malware !

Always remember all those reports about infections are bogus. Do not buy into this program it's just a scam to steal and extort money from you.

Why is my security warning box in keepvid black or blurry?

I have been using keepvid to download videos but recently as I was about to download, I couldn't click "Run" because the window for the security warning is either blurred or black or no content. What does this mean? Does this mean my computer has a virus? Help...

Its hard to say if it is an infectioin or not. There are thousands of viruses/malware out there that are designed to do different things. You caould scan with both of these and see if it finds anything.
