| Security Tool - Virus Alert This morning I just got this virus on my computer and as I am finding out, many others I know that use ant-virus software have also gotten it. I have always taken measures to prevent viruses and have never gotten one until today. We are still trying to remove it. I am not exactly sure of the best prevention but make sure your anti-virus software is up to date and look into getting a program called MalwareBytes Anti-Malware to prevent getting it. The bare bones version of this program is free. The virus specifically prevents you from installing this software once you already have the virus. Most of the fixes for this virus involve using this software which is the only reason I mention it.
The virus is called Security Tool.
Do a search on google and you will find loads of people trying to deal with this virus. I wish one of my family members that dealt with it had told me so here is your warning to get prepared. It got right through my Mcafee anti-virus software. |
