Some functions that were disabled by other previous less annoying viruses are all working again, such as changing wall paper. 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.

My new pc got infected last week after my daughter was on facebook. Would not allow me to run my antivirus software avast Pc Friend of my told my to run Super Antispyware. 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 downloaded the spyhunter detection scanner from top of page and the very presence of it seemed to stop Security Tool dead in it's tracks. Didn't even need to purchase the removal software.
All I had to do was move all files related to Security tool to recycle bin and then take great pleasure in permantly deleting them. So far no knock on effects. 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. As soon as i downloaded spyhunter3. I tried to download spyhunter but it doesn't seem to have a Macintosh version. When one is created, I would like to have it.
You can get rid of this malware by.. I cannot delete the program by going to Start and then delete. How do I remove it from my laptop? I would rather pay the fee for blocking the transaction than pay them for a bogus crappy tool? I went and used my task manager, and it seemed to work.
