Well i had the virus the other day so i thought id post how i managed to clear it.
The virus does not let you easily get into task mangager once its loaded it it shuts it almost as soon as you open it,the trick appears to be timing on start up.
Basically i restarted my comp and hit CTRl/ALT/DEl as soon as i saw the desktop items come up,it took a min or two but taskmanger opened,i was then able to search for the exe. file which will be a bunch of numbers,and then closed it down temporarily disabling the virus.
I then ran spybot,malware bytes, and Avg consecutively and that seems to have sorted the problem.
Hope this helps.

security tool just popped up and was driving me mad. I seem to have solved it by rebooting in safe mode and deleting it manually in DOS. After that I deleted the desk top icon and the program menu option. I used the desk top icon properties to locate the directory.

I got the security tool virus and it seemed to override my antivirus software as well. I did a system restore, it was difficult to get to it because of the pop ups but I was persistent and kept closing them. It appeared as if I fixed the problem after the restore because I got my screen back and everything but I noticed the icon for the “security tool”. I downloaded malwarebytes and did a scan, there were several files infected and I followed the instructions that were given to me. I had to restart to finish removal and it seems to be completely fixed. The icon is gone at least, I dont know what else to do. I just thought I would post this to try and help someone else. Good luck

I just did a system restore, the “Security Tool” was trying not to let me get to the restore by popping up the different warnings, I just kept closing them by pressing x and finally got to restore. Everything appeared to be back to normal after the restore but I still see the Security Tool icon so I am running malwarebyte, it is still running but found 15 infected objects so far

I’ve loaded the Malwarebytes from another computer and I’ve tried to run Malwarebytes in SafeMode and the Cyber Protection Center still manages to hides from it. The Malwarebytes does not find anything during the scan but the virus is still on the computer.
I need new suggestions on how to get rid of this nasty virus. HELP

Security tool and most rogue antivirus softwares may not let you download or run malwarebytes easily in your PC. What to do:
Download and rename malwarebytes from a different computer and burn this to a CD.
Boot your computer in safe mode (by pressing F8 when your pc restarts)
Install malwarebytes (using the cd with the program in it)
Run malwarebytes

This thing is nasty. I can’t run most of my programs and when I tried that free antimalware download, Security tools would not even let me in to run it. There must be a free way to get rid of it, but it might take a computer expert.
