Download MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.
Download rkill.com ( rkill.exe ).
Install the mbam-setup.exe file.
To install it, just press next and don’t edit any options if you are not sure what you’re doing.
After the installation is ready, MalwareBytes Anti Malware will start automatically and will require you to update the software, so just press OK.
Go to the Scan tab, select “Perform Quick Scan” and press “Scan.”
MalwareBytes Anti Malware will now scan all your PC for malware, including the Security Tool.
You will see a “The Scan completed successfully. Click ‘Show Results’ to display all objects found” prompt once the scan is finished. Press OK.
Now press “Show Results.”
You will see a list of malware applications, including the Rogue.SecurityTool. Be sure to select them all and press “Remove Selected.”
After MalwareBytes Anti Malware finishes the cleaning, you can close the program and be sure your PC is clean.
As a caution, you should also use rkill.com ( rkill.exe ) to terminate malicious processes.

the only way to be sure of removing it is to remove the hard drive and scan through it using malwarebytes and ms security essentials from another computer, the way the security tool (malware) is not active and cannot protect itself.
