Security Tool is a self-proclaimed anti-spyware program, promoted through pop-ups, trojans and malware webites. The
Security Tool
is promoted just like
Windows Police Pro or Green AV ( Antivirus ) 2009. The Roque anti-spyware programs are distributed through websites that simulate virus scans, then the user is told to download the software to clean his PC.

Once installed, the Security Tool will start automatically each time you turn on your PC and log in to Windows. Then it will start scanning your computer and show you a list of fake infections. When you try to clean the infected files, you are prompted to buy the
software
.

Be careful, don’t believe anything this rogue
software
prompts to you and DO NOT delete the infected files found by it, because those are just legitimate files.

This is how
Security Tool
looks ( article continues below the image ):
