| MS Removal Tool |
MS Removal Tool pretends to be a legitimate antivirus program, but in fact, it is neither able to detect, nor to remove any threats from the system. Its only purpose is to scare the unaware computer users and leave their machines in a mess. How is this fake software able to do that?
Being based on Trojan viruses, MS Removal Tool has the ability to get to the computer without your permission and consent. Trojans detect holes in the security system and intrude the system, making changes on the registry first. The rogueware modifies registry values and adds registry keys. After these Trojans do their work, MS Removal Tool is started every single time Windows boots up.
As soon as the fake application starts, it starts performing system scans. The software is simulated in a way that it detects a bunch of infectious files which, in fact, were created by the same Trojans. At this point, an unaware computer user starts to get scared and lost. Being unaware what to do next, the PC user starts getting pop-up messages which warn about the threat detected. The scammers are really smart - they even suggest you to pay money in order to get rid of all the malware detected.
However, you should not fall into this trap of MS Removal Tool. Be sure to remove this rogue antivirus application.
