System Tool - How to remove

1. Can you please help me to clean my computer

2. Hello- I have tried several different virus removal tools including spyware doctor. I’ll start up in safemode with networking because I can’t get the programs to run otherwise, but even when they do run they either find nothing or the they find a few relatively harmless things like cookies.

   At this point is it best to try to remove it manually- or would it be beneficial to wipe my computer and just start over?

3. Have you updated? There are changes noticed in malware, and some programs do not update automatically. Force-run updates.

4. I just downloaded and ran spyware doctor. The scan lasted almost 3 hours, and found numerous infections that I fixed. I rebooted, and the problems are still there??? Now what??

5. Patric: Contact pc tools support or try hitman pro – it is good against rootkits that can stop Spyware Doctor from removing some of infections sucessfully.

6. Im using a laptop at the moment cause system tool wont let me get on the internet on my PC, so theres no way i can download any products online so is there a product i could buy at a store not off the net that will help me rid this virus?

7. Josh: Try using the key first to disable its popups. Then disable proxy and you should be able to access internet. scan with various anti-malware tools.

8. Oh yeah, make sure you download all the most recent updates before running the programs.

   Also, if you can’t get Explorer to run on teh infected computer download all programs onto a flash drive on another uninfected computer. Then plug into infected computer in safe mode, cut and paste .exe programs off flash drive to infected computer and run.

9. is there a way to get the spyware doctor to remove system tool without paying?

10. John: expand each detection, delete manually. Or use other tools.

11. System tool makes a shortcut on your desktop. Right click it => open location.
    i found two files. One can be deleted, the other one can be renamed. When you reboot, system tool cant open and you ca remove the other file as well and your computer at least behaves normally again.

12. Boot to safe mode and run system restore. Pick a date before you got the trojan.
    When it reboots you will be free of the trojan.

13. I had a problem using the method outlined above. I could not stop the process in task manager fast enough to prevent system tool from activating. I tried the following method instead. it was much simpler and only took 10 minutes to completely remove system tool from my laptop.

    1)start in safe mode
    2)backup any document, movie music, etc files that were added or modified in the last several days prior to the infection.
    3)click windows start icon on the left side of the task bar.
    4)type “system restore”in the search field.
    5)restore to a point prior to the infection.
    DONE!!

    no trying to beat system tool startup in task manager, no downloading additional files, no scanning, no searching for rogue files, no traces of system tool left on your computer, and best of all….

    Its SIMPLE, its QUICK, and its COMPLETELY THOROUGH!!

14. Mikedelta: Actually, system restore does not remove the files and it might miss some startup entries. Scanning is advisable after restore as well.

15. hello, my husband has this system tool on his laptop, i would be able to do everything that is said above but the only problem is there isnt any visable file that i can find its hidden. ive updated my spybot and i downloaded the spydoctor thing but itjust wants me to but it…is there anyway that i can get this off?

16. Ashley: you can try deleting the stuff SD detects manually. Also try mbam or hitman pro

17. @admin
    The problem lay on my setting on my computer. I downladed and ran Spyware Doctor. I think I still had problems, but I logged on on my wife’s area and downlaoded Norton Internet Security 2011 and did a complete scan. This took a long time but the problem seems to be solved. We had Norton 360 but let the licence lapse – a cautionary tale.

18. i just left my computer shut off for 4 days then it does not ATTACK SINCE IT IS A ROUGE VIRUS then install malwarebytes and use avg after that i had avg and malwarebytes on there it would not let me update so i removed all of the shortcuts and anything i could find on search a rouge is useless if it cannot have internet access it on it how can it spam if it has no way possible? after those few days it resets itself so you can update EVERYTHING!!!then kill it with your malware program then use the anti virus since it is now free to update no need to change anything.

19. Restart your computer in safe mode (f8 – on boot up)
    Select system restore from your control panel
    Restore back at least 15 days.

    Viola…gone no muss no fuss no reprogramming no special software to buy and install. If you have a malware remover, just to be safe run it after restoring your system to locate any possible threads.

20. I have just “adopted” Active System Tool and am getting many of the banners that you indicate. Am am smart but not super computer literate. Should I attempt the reboot instructions and if not what is my smart choice?

21. OK I got the sysyems tool telling me SZServer.exe is infected I have tried everything nothing is downloading and really getting irritated by this I can get online but cant play my games offline can u help me please.

    Thanks

22. Itried to get rid of this system tool but i have obviously doon something wrong i cant get my system to start up in reg or safe mode it is disabling my keyboard

23. I got System Tool by downloading porn videos off a website and if I try any way to remove it in normal mode it is impossible. Can anyone contact someone that is an expert and just give me steps to get rid of this virus once and for all? I really want this virus to be gone forever from my laptop.

24. well, this is the 2nd time it infcted me… (different computers)
    so, i traced the trojan downloaders IP and sent system tool back at where i got it

28. thx alot.
    this page helped.
    i use spybot S&D for removing.
    The biggest prop was to stop the exe.
    Pics the rmb on your desktop on the sys tool app to find the correct nameof the process.
    After 5 times reboot i stopped it.
    thx a lot

29. Removing System Tool takes quite a bit of time. The method i used was restarting it..and press escape be4 the computer starting windows. And then Press f2 i think for system recovery..and it will be alot easier to go from there. Lol the only problem you might have with this method is that if you don’t have a back up for your computer, you will lose important information. Which I didn’t have any Lol..thank god. But try that anyhow.

30. Go and DL RKill. This can be done in Safe Mode w/ Networking. Once DL’d and installed, this turd of a program can’t stop RKill from starting and shutting it the hell down. Then you can go through the lengthy process of removing it.

31. Note: Rkill can be downloaded from here : http://www.technibble.com/rkill-repair-tool-of-the-week/ or bleepingcomputers.

32. @Maineiac
    i did as suggested above and it worked i then forgot to delete my cookies and within a hour it was back,i have then gone back into system restore and redide again changed to a date i did not have the trogon but i am getting a message saying system could not restore to these changes and no changes have been made help!

33. Tony Roe: System restore is (usually) temporally solution. In all cases after system restore you have to scan PC for trojans, rootkits or unremoved parts of malware.

34. I have had systen tool attack twice,had mcaffee antivirus first time,and have had regzooka and spyzooka,also now using system mecanic,none have stopped system tool so far,seems to me someone who sells antivirus would be able to stop it but the best way to stop it i have found so far is to use system restore,i have e-mailed system mecanic to ask if there is a way to configure to stop it,still waiting,but right now i wonder who really design it,could it have been one of the antivirus company’s.

35. Michael: System mechanic and regzooka is not anti-malware programs nor antivirus. I would not recommend Spyzooka at all. Try common anti-malware solutions : Spyware Doctor, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes, superantispyware, emsisoft anti-malware, etc.

36. Easiest removal is:
    -start in safe mode
    – open windows explorer
    – change the view to show all files and folders even system protected
    – browse through the program files for a folder with random letters for the name, inside you’ll see a single exe file
    – copy the name of the file then delete the whole folder
    – search the registry for the name and delete all instances
    – reboot and install Spybot or Malware bytes and do a full scan.
    – voila

37. who ever created this virus is sick. If you are out there i am going to hunt you down and find you. I will be the bane of your life, until i find you, and beat you down….

    be afraid…..very afraid

38. It is as easy as 123 to remove. When you start up your computer, imediately press F8 key. When the menue appears, scroll down to “Directory Services Restore Mode.” The rest is easy; just restore to an earlier date. Make sure it is a date before the virus entered your system and it will be gone. Your computer will be back to normal.

39. Rob: Read comments above. This will not fix all versions of malware and does not remove all trojans that install system tool in first place. You should scan your PC.

40. Thanks for the tips, still DOS mode is the best.
    While starting windows, press F8 and wait until the Safe Mode Window comes.
    Then… search for the weird .exe filename, by typing dir *.exe /p/s (to find .exe files within the system)
    Then… while files are flashing, look for the file that suspect you. Try to look for dates and time nearest in the event when the System Tool start showing or any unusual long filenames (like what I have encountered: bIeGpIo18101.exe)
    Go to the directory and delete it including the directory.
    Then restart your computer.
    Its like magic!

41. @Rob

    Thanks for your simple tip. It worked well with my laptop.

42. @Mikedelta
    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
    This method worked great and like you said,
    only took about 10 minutes. I am a techno-boob
    and it was very easy for me. I didn’t even know
    how to restart in safe mode, but a quick Google search
    and I was on my way.

43. @Rob
    Sorry, that was directed at Gavin above.
