Try going back into Trojan Remover first, and running all the different options in the Utilities menu.

Then download Hijackthis from here (go.trendmicro.com), run it and choose the option to save a logfile. Post the logfile here for us to take a look at.

818735 2009-10-10 03:23:00 I also have the same problem, I've followed what everyone said, except for the part where I have to open up the System Icon in order to do disable safe mode. For some reason, my computer wont let me up the System Icon. Help, please?

EDIT: My computer also won't let me open up the trojan removing program that I installed from here earlier.

818737 2009-10-11 04:29:00 There must be something I'm missing or doing wrong. Here's what I did.
-Disabled System Restore
-Rebooted in Safe Mode
-Scanned my computer (In Safe Mode, with Trojan Remover)

Security tool is still on my computer. Seems like nothing was done. I also have MalWareBytes on my computer, if that helps at all. Help, please?

818738 2009-10-11 04:36:00 Boot into safe mode / networking. Get hijackthis, install / run it. Click on scan the system and save a log. Copy and paste the whole log here. I could check it remotely with teamviewer. But you need 10 posts for PM's to work. Since I need the ID and password from teamviewer, to connect to you. Did you install run / update malwarebytes then do a full scan? Speedy Gonzales (78)
818739 2009-10-11 04:38:00 Kill these processes:
Security Tool.exe
uninstall.exe

Then dind and delete these registry values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run “SecurityTool”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vista Antivirus 2010
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\SecurityTool
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecurityTool

And these files/folders:
%System Root%\Samples
%User Profile%\Local Settings\Temp
%Program Files%\SecurityTool
%Program Files%\SecurityTool
%Documents and Settings%\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SecurityTool
%Documents and Settings%\All Users\Application Data\SecurityTool

Type each of the folder paths in run and hit enter, then go up one folder and delete it.

818740 2009-10-11 05:09:00 I didn't do a full scan with MalwareBytes yet. Going to do it know.

@Blam6, I have no idea what any of that means. My computer lingo isn't that good, yet.

818741 2009-10-11 05:36:00 Post a hijackthis log then Speedy Gonzales (78)
818742 2009-10-17 14:23:00 I go to Control Panel, System Icon, and then the next popup for me to click System Restore on disappears after half a second. Wtf?

Can anybody else tell me how exactly to get rid of this? I'm still kind of new to messing with computers and I have no idea what most of this stuff is
(btw, what would happen if you clicked "allow" for the program? XD)
