Got hit with this today; got past my mcafee and windows defender - A simple restore-point fixed mine but here's other fixes... fwiw

``````````````````````

Try this move, it worked for me after going nuts over this for a whole day.

Reboot in safe mode
browse to C:\Documents and settings\all users\ application data

There will be a folder in there that has eight numbers as a name (ex 91908431)

Delete this bad boy, empty recycle bin

Reboot normally, delete all left over shortcuts, empty recycle bin again and you are home free.

Anyone having problems reconnecting to their wireless router after getting rid of this nasty bug should call the router company (IE:Belkin, ect) to get help reconnecting the router to your computer. That being said:

This is ONE NASTY, NASTY program! An employee in my office had her computer infected with this vicious program. The MIT DEPT could not figure it out as this program blocks anyone from entering ANY PROGRAMS on their computer.

Philly Keith is right on the button. I was able to remove this program. I wrote everything down so I could relay to others what works. This is step by step as some people are not as computer savvy as others, so bare with me please : ) Here is what I did:

*When you are restarting windows, the first screen to appear (in my case) is a blue screen that says DELL and has the F commands for set up and safe mode in the upper right of the screen.

*when this screen appears it only stays on a few seconds so VERY QUICKLY hit the F8 safe mode key and hold it down until the next screen appears.

*This new screen prompts you to choose what mode you want to start windows in. Use the up and down keys (located below the delete, end, page down keys) to select the safe mode and hit enter.

* Allow windows to start up and fully load in the safe mode.

* Once fully loaded, click on the start menu. Then click on the run….which is usually located below the search.

* When this opens type C:\documents and settings\all users\application data

* Click ok

* A page comes up with file folders of all applications on your computer. There was only one file that contained numbers only. Click open that file.

* A new page opens that shows The virus “Security Tool”.

* I left clicked on the file (do not open!!!!) and clicked on the delete (which sends it to the recycle bin).

* I then clicked the back button and sent the file folder with the number (which is now empty) to the recycle bin.

* I closed out that window. I opened the recycle bin from my desk top and emptied my recycle bin.

* I shut my computer down and restarted. The virus was gone. I had to go into my display options and fix some of the display settings that had been changed from this virus. I also ran my anti virus program and scanned my computer right away. Everything is working good now. I hope that this helps someone out.

WAT I DID WAS REBOOTED IN SAFE MODE BY HOLDING F8 AND SCROOLIN DOWN TO SAFE MODE AND HITTING ENTER YOUR ICONS SUD POP AS NORMAL AND THE ICON FOR DIS SECURITY TOOL YOKE IT LOOKS LIKE A SHIELD AND ITS BLUE IS THERE DELETE DIS AND FROM YOUR RECYCLE BIN GO 2 ALL PROGRAMS AND DELETE IT THER ASWEL SHUT DOWN UR SYSTEM AGAIN TURN BACK ON THEN HOLD F8 AGAIN SCROOL DOWN 2 SYSTEM RESTORE CENTER AN HIT ENTER AGAIN LET IT DO THE REST ITS SELF ABOUT TEN MINS IT TAKES THEN U,LL NEVER C IT AGAIN HOPE DIS HELPS SUM1 BYE……………………

Hope this helps a few of you.
Just found this on my daughters laptop which is running Vista.
Start in safe mode F8, go start, computer, local disc C:, program data, about 3rd folder down was a folder called 45758332 (not sure if it will be the same number in all cases), I explored it just to check and it contained the scurity tool.exe file)
Delete this folder and reboot.
once you have restarted delete it from the start list and the desktop shortcuts and all should be fine
