    ... Or will get you to download and run some malware. What I want to know is, if they are really that what they pretend to be.

    Source: http://remove-malware.net/how-to-remove-security-tool2010org-hijacker/

    It is exactly what it describes it as. I believe it is indeed malware.... follow the uninstallation instructions included on the site. You would have to be pretty silly to download these rogue antiviruses - they are pretty fake

    I'm not questioning the "malware status" of the socalled "security tool". I am talking about "remove-malware.net"; are they a legitimate site for Virus removal or are they what they say about "security-tool2010"?!

    OK,. there is nothing wrong with removing malware.

    I would NOT TRUST ANY OTHER MALWARE PRODUCT AVAILABLE, OTHER THAN A WELL KNOWN ANTIVIRUS SOLUTION.

    Is this clear or do i need to explain it a bit more.
