   I have an HP that is just a couple of years old & was running like a top until I got the Security Vista 2011 Virus. My f8 would not work ! Therefore, instead, I clicked on Esc as it gives me a list of how to start up. I went to system restore a few days before the virus started. Then, I DL’d Spy Hunter & it found 366 infections, right away. So, I purchased it & feel protected now & in the event of future attacks.

   Shut down you computer manually and when the start up screen comes up select start in safe mode. Go to system restore and select a date before you got security tool. It worked very well and it is completely gone from my computer now!

   All you do to get task manager up and running is hit CTRL, ALT DELETE, right when windows loads up, do it quickly before all your system tray icons load up, that way task manager runs right before the Security Tool Virus is loaded and prevents it from going…Kill the Security tool process, usually a bunch of numbers followed by .exe now that its disabled, run a good antivirus program and hopefully (fingers crossed) it will remove it for you…

   for one half hours I tried to get pass it. I realized I had to pay them in order to get into my computer…..I purchased the lowest price, itthey changed it to the hightest price. I call the in UK about it VERY nasty they hung up on me 3 times then wouldn’t answer my call… apond waiting for awhile I called back and said I saw the information on security scans and they are one, they said they would send me email confo and gave me a number lets see, they are out of the country and maybe able to keep the money. My bank will here this is Monday so they can help at their end. We have no work, health care and we have to take our important tool we use every day and still be at the behalf of outsiders and criminals to keep taking money.

I also paid the $50 extortion money to get rid of them and now have to change my debit card and credit card accounts for fear of continued abuse. I’ve reported this to my bank and they will try to help recover the money. This is a particularly vicious virus so beware!

    l am another victim of the Security Tool malware scammers. They think it is really funny to mess with people’s lives and livelihoods. Although it’s frustrating, they will eventually get their “rewards” in life and the hereafter.

    Meanwhile, I found a way around the malware. When Windows is booting up, I pull up Task Manager (TM) by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del. This gives me a list of the files currently running. I scanned these files, listed them on paper, and then looked for anything I’d never seen before. One file stood out (38420825.exe). Since this file made no sense to me and because I’d never seen it before, I ended the file through TM. This ended ALL the popups and I am able to get online and all my applications work. Granted, I still have the virus, BUT, now I can at least do what I need to do on my computer. In about a month, I will have enough to take it to a computer expert to get rid of the virus.

    if you cannot open any browser, use USB flash drive to copy and paste a link (the entire address e.g. http://www.enigmasoftware.com/securitytool-removal/ into a word document from another pc. Stick this flash drive into USB of the infected pc and open the word document. press Control button and click on the link. That should open up the browser and connect you to the internet.
    I tried to delete the files mentioned above, but eventually the problem came back. You can also stop the 8886541.exe from the Task Manager Processes by End Process. But it will come back again next time you boot.
    I downloaded Spyware Doctor. There was an Antivirus accociated with it for $5.95 for 60days use that i purchased and downloaded. I ran it with Spyware Doctor about 3 times and it got rid of all the viruses and spywares and all the buttons and icons worked once again. Some functions that were disabled by other previous less annoying viruses are all working again, such as changing wall paper.
    If i bring it to a shop they will just reformat my whole pc and reinstall windows, which will wipe out all my programs, for $39 and 2 days and 2 roundtrips. I think i did the right thing here, spending $6 of well worth money. Thanks to Spyware Doctor. I surfed a lot of sites to assure that Spyware Doctor and PCtools were not viruses themselves before i ran Spyware Doctor and purchased the pctools antivirus.
    Now i can return the new notebook that i purchased.

    Spyware Doctor will stop Security Tool from popping up, but not revive the disabled functions. pctools antivirus (just the 5.59 for 60days version) together with Spywqare Doctor will fix it, together with other spyware or virus problems if you have any.

Already installed on my PC.. Told me to run it 5 or 6 times until all infected files are removed. He said if you act as soon as you discover it may be able to remove by this means before other files are infected. He said this week alonbg he had been called to work on 5 pcs with the spyware. In some cases only solution is to wipe hard drive and reinstall windows.. I ran super antispyware 6 times until received no infected file detection. Have no problems since

    I just removed this from my friends computer and it took only a few minutes.

    1) Locate system tools in the programs list and right click then click proprties

    2) Once you are in there go to security

    3) From there depending on your computer it is either right there or you need to go to advanced

    4) Once you are there click on the user and then click all the deny boxes, do this for all the users that are listed.

    5) That is it. Now that system tools doesn’t pop up every second you can now go into programs find system tools and delete it and then be sure to delete it from your recycle bin.

    PLEASE LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!. i got hit by this stupid security virus, it was horrible and i seriously fell for it and i just bought my laptop like 3 months ago. okay the only way to take it off is by deleting it off your computer.try looking for it anywhere on your computer. first restart you computer and before you log on press ctrl+alt+delete. immediately. then from there look for on your computer. it should have a logo beside it like the one it says on it’s page.the virus should have like eight numbers,make sure you delete anything that has to do with security tool. i took me about 3 hours straight to delete it because i was not aware of it. i will help if you go to youtube to how to get rid of it. also once you done deleting it. restart your computer. and hopefully it’s gone. so it won’t prevent future damage.

    I went and used my task manager, and it seemed to work. But when I powered up my computer again, it came back, and now it says that my task manager is infected with a worm and won’t let it open. What should I do? It is realy pissing me off.

    Grrrrrrrr!!! This nasty security Tool Virus has done the same to my computer, Reading other comments I have found that the ALT, CTRL & DELETE trick DO WORK so you can work on your computer.However I do have a anti spy-ware(spyzooka) on board, and have just sent them a email asking for their HELP as It should had STOP it getting on there in the 1st place will update you all if they come up with any conclusion to this problem. If not it will be back to the old drawing board, but whatever I will write a reply…. In the mean time try
    the Control, Alt & Delete when Task manager will comes up.. click on “process” then click on the long number sequence, then click on “End Process”, You have to do this each time, but at least no more pop ups from Security Tool ! Good Luck

    SOLUTION!!!!

    My brother had security Tool.
    1) DO NOT buy it.
    2) If you can, then delete the account and start on a new one. Preferably saving files first.
    3) If 2 is not possible then click through F1-F12 (It is probably F9 OR F10)
    4)It will come up with a startup script or something.
    5) Complete and your problem is solved.

    P.S Niot all computers are the same so this may only work on laptops but is definetely worth it as it saves so much time.

    Hope everything works now!!!!

    Hi,
    Me dad got me a comp. for christmas, and my brothers and I all have logins, and one of them was playing an online game and then, when he closed it, It had this thing open called SECURITY TOOL, and I don’t know what to do, I clicked on my SYMANTEC ENDPOINT PROTECTION icon, (It’s a real thing that protects, windows developed it) and it didn’t open. now every about 15 seconds it pops up saying, intercepting programs that may compromise your system have been detected that may end in the loss of personal data blablablablabla, I’m only thirteen, but know a lot about computers, and I am stumped here, what do I do?

    Security Tool anti-spyware program is FAKE and a big time nightmare.
    My PC was infected by the so called security Tool virus last week on 5/12/2010.
    Please becareful and do not purchase their program/package, please read all the fine print. Their membership package amount changes from $79.00 to $2,300.02 when you are about to confirm your credit charge through the bank. Check the amount charge before your hit that submit box. I hope that you guys have credit card protection.
    If your PC is infected by that virus, please try to fix it ASAP with in 24hrs, if you dont, its going to be a nightmare for you, security tool windows keep popping up every 3 to 5 seconds which does prevent you from doing your virus clean up. You may also find it difficult to download the different program to fix our PC. what I did was I had to run my PC back up program DVD and install your PC to its manufactures setup. Please dont forget to do a SAVE files or program before you reinstall your PC, your will lose all your files. I hope this will work out for you.
    Thank you for reading this note.

    Ive had security tool before and ive had to get it fixed. Security tool is a very popular virus to get from a website caled *FACEBOOK*

    Security Tool CAN pass MOST internet protection programs. Right now im downloading this program and from what ive heard this removes security tool. I just got a warning from security tool and since ive had experience with security tool this time im taking action before it gets to bad. It will get worse and worse over time so if you have this virus try to remove it within 16 hours of it’s first warning. NEVER get your credit card information to this program.

    Thanks!-

    Got this today and it is a pain.
    To remove it(I’m MS xp):
    Hit
    Start
    Search – files – all files and folders
    type *.exe in phrases
    drop down advanced options
    click on hidden files
    enter
    find file that is nothing but numbers
    right click on the numbers file
    rename
    give it a name that would never be used in an app. I used “crap”
    restart your machine
    Security tool should be gone

    It worked for me. Hope it does for you

    Hi all just solved this:
    .Start your computer and keep pressing F8 till a menu appears,
    .Select safe mode (the program doesnt activate in safe mode)
    .When your computer has booted click start and in the search bar type, security.
    .You should see a blue icon with secruity and a number next to it.
    .RIGHT click on it and select, open file location.
    .Right click on the file and select delete.
    .Empty your recycle bin.

    Thats it
    Hope it helps

    Leigh,

    You need to call your credit card company to request a charge-back as soon as possible. Unfortunately you will have to cancel your credit card because the hackers who created Security Tool have your credit card information and may use it at anytime to charge it again.

    Hi there, please dont panic, i have spent all morning trying to fix a friends laptop that had the security tool on it and like all of you i couldnt do any scans for spyware, i couldnt get into msconfig, its even that clever that if you try to get into the programs settings and stop it from booting up on start up it wont let you do it, so guys and gals try this, as soon as you are loading up the the windows screen press ctrl, alt and del, brings up task manager, click on processes, You will see a number at the top of the list now before doing anything else you need to locate the file, hopefully the security tool is in your start window menu showing recently used files, right click this to get its properties, click on the “open file location” it will bring up a window and show where the file is. now flick back to task manager and end the process for the numbered program, now quickly go back to the other window that shows the file and delete it, you have to be quick or the program will open again. When you have done this go straight to your RECYCLE BIN and empty it. Reboot your pc/laptop and hopefully you are up and running again

    To all affected by Security Tool

    I had this nasty spyware in my computer however I mamanged to get risd of it totally although it took me a while.
    To start with, I would suggest not to sign up to any other software claimig to eliminate the problem as this could indeed be another hoax.
    What I did was simply rebooting the computer meaning installing the operating system afresh. there are generally 2 ways to do so,either by recovery disc (supplied by the manufacturer) or without it. the first one did not work for me as security tool somehow stopped running the disc. the other way is rebooting using either F8 or F11 key so that the screen takes you to “run recovery” screen and then it will guide to how to complete the process.I suggest to consult computer’s user manual or ask someone about the timing of hitting F keys
    Just make sure you have a back up of all your data beforehand, as you might lose all your data on your computer. Some computers have the option of retaining some data but to be on the safe side, it’s better to wipe out all the data.
    As I mentioned, I have got rid of the this huge nuisance and am hoping every one else will.
    All the best
    Farzad
    As I mentioned I mamanged
