In such a case, you should enter Safe Mode with Networking — a safe environment where the operation of most malware is temporarily disabled note that such threats like rootkits [4] might still run even in Safe Mode.
Once you get to the Safe Mode, perform a full system scan using anti-malware tool — it should remove Security Tool and all its components from the system. It requires advanced IT knowledge to be performed correctly if vital system files are removed or damaged, it might result in full Windows compromise , and it also might take hours to complete. Therefore, we highly advise using the automatic method provided above instead. Windows Task Manager is a useful tool that shows all the processes running in the background.
If malware is running a process, you need to shut it down:. Malware-related files can be found in various places within your computer. Here are instructions that could help you find them:. Finally, you should always think about the protection of crypto-ransomwares.
In order to protect your computer from Security Tool and other ransomwares, use a reputable anti-spyware, such as Reimage Intego , SpyHunter 5 Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.
Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process. Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them.
The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted. While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
