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 rogue 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.

My teenager had been on a music sharing website and was tagged by a virus called SECURITY TOOL. What it does is disguise itself as an antivirus program and tricks you into believing its legitimacy by initiating fake scans and spyware alerts to make it look like the real deal. Furthermore it disables your existing antivirus and spyware protection leaving you vulnerable to trust it.
After the program scares you into thinking you have 30 or so infections on your computer, it baits you to purchase SECURITY TOOL immediately to remove the infections. DON'T DO IT! IT'S A SETUP!
