System Tool 2011 Removal Guide

It has become increasingly more and more difficult to distinguish between genuine and rubbish rogue antispyware applications like System Tool 2011. This rogue in particular is a vicious fake security application which was designed by detestable cyber criminals to trick users into paying for their worthless software.

Once System Tool 2011 manages to securely root itself in the system it will start its attack against the PC by initiating an unwarranted and fake system scan. This fake system scan will inevitably yield bogus warnings of nonexistent threats supposedly running wild on the system. What is more, System Tool 2011 will terminate any application the user attempts to run on the infected PC, claiming that the program is infected and requesting that the user pays for and activate System Tool 2011 so that it can fix this threat. It will present the user with the following fake alert:
