Recently, my computer was infected with Security Tool. I went to your website to find out how to remove it. I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, scanned my computer, and removed the threats and/or "malicous items." I ran a second scan to make sure the threats were removed and and it stated that "no malicous items were detected." However, prior to visiting your website and downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, I downloaded Spyware Doctor, per the recommendations of another website. Once downloaded, it stated that there was a fee to have the threats removed. I didn't purchase anything because I wanted to see if there was a free service out there prior to paying for it. That is when I came across your website. Anyway, I scanned my computer using Spyware Doctor and it detected a few "infections." This was after scanning my computer using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it saying "no malicous items were detected." Why is there a discrepancy between the two? How do I know for sure Securiy Tool is no longer on my computer? Can you please help?

Please read the following information that I have provided, which will help you prevent malicious software in the future. Please keep in mind, malware is a continuous danger on the Internet. It is highly important to stay safe while browsing, to prevent re-infection.

Software recommendations

AntiSpyware

  • SpywareBlaster
    SpywareBlaster is a program that prevents spyware from installing on your computer. A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster may be found here.
  • Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    Spybot - Search & Destroy is a spyware and adware removal program. It also has realtime protection, TeaTimer to help safeguard your computer against spyware. (The link for Spybot - Search & Destroy contains a tutorial that will help you download, install, and begin using Spybot).


NOTE: Please keep ALL of these programs up-to-date and run them whenever you suspect a problem to prevent malware problems.

Resident Protection help
A number of programs have resident protection and it is a good idea to run the resident protection of one of each type of program to maintain protection. However, it is important to run only one resident program of each type since they can conflict and become less effective. That means only one antivirus, firewall, and scanning anti-spyware program at a time. Passive protectors such as SpywareBlaster can be run with any of them.

Rogue programs help
There are a lot of rogue programs out there that want to scare you into giving them your money and some malware actually claims to be security programs. If you get a popup for a security program that you did not install yourself, do NOT click on it and ask for help immediately. It is very important to run an antivirus and firewall, but you can't always rely on reviews and ads for information. Ask in a security forum that you trust if you are not sure. If you are unsure and looking for anti-spyware programs, you can find out if it is a rogue here:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Securing your computer

  • Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
  • hpHosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. This prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1, which is your local computer's loopback address, meaning it will be difficult to infect your computer in the future.


Please consider using an alternate browser
Mozilla's Firefox browser is a very good alternative. In addition to being generally more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a very good built-in popup blocker and add-ons, like NoScript, can make it even more secure. Opera is another good option.

Thank you so very much for your assistance! You have been wonderful. I appreciate your advice in your last post as well.

You had me download several things. Should I keep "Malwarebytes Anti-malware" and "Security Check" on my computer? Is there a need to keep all the logs I saved as well?

I'm curious how "Security Tool" infected me? Did it come from a site I visited? In addition, I have McAfee, is it immune to it? I'm just curious how it happened to me.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
Keep Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, as it can be used from time to time on your own to scan and check your computer for infection.

You may delete Security Check.

To uninstall ComboFix

  • Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
  • In the field, type in ComboFix /u

Security Tool - Is it really gone? Cf310

(Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)

  • Then, press Enter, or click OK.
  • This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.

Security Tool is installed on your computer, usually by Trojans. Once the program is installed, rogues display fake security alerts stating that your computer is infected or is under a risk. It urges you to purchase its software in order to protect yourself. If you click on one of these alerts, you will then be brought to the website of the program, where you will be prompted to purchase the software.

It usually infects your computer in multiple places where some antivirus software cannot find. So it takes much better tools, like ComboFix, to seek out and find those bad files and corruptions made by this Security Tool rogue.

McAfee should be able to keep up, but as always, I recommend a much better choice. Would you like to know about better choices for an antivirus software?

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
Yes, I would definitely like to know about better choices for antivirus software. I always thought McAfee was one of the best.

Is there any way to know what site I visited that caused me to be infected by System Tool?

What about the logs I saved on my computer? Do I need to keep them? Or, will uninstalling ComboFix remove them?

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
You may delete the logs.

It is hard to tell what specific site you had gotten the infection from. All I can say is, is to follow the recommendations I have given above, and you are bound to have a clean computer, always, in the future.

Optionally, if you would like to be protected from bad websites, download and install Web of Trust: http://www.mywot.com - which is a browser add-on that gives you warnings about bad websites.

If you need help configuring WOT, please let me know.

==

If you would like to get rid of McAfee:
Please download and run MCPR.exe

  1. Download the removal tool from: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
  2. Click Save and save the file to a folder on your computer.
  3. Navigate to the folder where the file was saved.
  4. Make sure all McAfee windows are closed.
  5. Double-click MCPR.exe to run the removal tool.
  6. Restart your computer after receiving the message CleanUp Successful.
    Your McAfee product will not be fully removed until the system is restarted.

All of the following are excellent free antiviruses. Be sure to only install one.

avast!.
AntiVir
AVG.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

So, if these antivirus software options are free and much better, why do people, such as myself, purchase software like McAfee Security Center? Is it that I'm, as well as others, just unaware and uneducated on all the free services that are available? This past summer, I purchased McAfee for two years. I'm beginning to think I'm a computer idiot.

I tried to uninstall CombFix and when I typed "ComboFix /u" (space and all) a box came up that said "Windows cannot find ComboFix. Make sure you typed the name correctly..." Why did this happen? I have xp.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
Try combofix /uninstall in the Run box, instead. If that does not work, then go ahead and right-click on ComboFix and click Delete.

Like I said, McAfee should be able to keep up, but there are better choices that are much more powerful - that you do not even need to pay for. McAfee charges too much for a software that should be free.

All three, AVG - Avira - Avast, are very strong virus removers and prevention tools. For the beginner computer user, AVG is the best choice.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
combofix /uninstall didn't work. The same box came up as when I typed ComboFix /u.

You said to right click it. Should this be done from the desktop icon. I don't have anything that says ComboFix on my desktop. Is ComboFix also Security Check? I do have a Security Check icon on my desktop.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

more_horiz
Yes, please delete Security Check. If you cannot find ComboFix, no big deal.

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

By right clicking and hitting delete, it completely removes it from my computer? That's it?

descriptionSecurity Tool - Is it really gone? EmptyRe: Security Tool - Is it really gone?

Yes. It is not installed on the system. It works by itself.
