Various computer users have reported to many security companies of a program called MS Removal Tool that somehow installed itself before displaying a plethora of misleading popup alerts.
One may think that the MS Removal Tool program was created and sold by Microsoft but that is not so. MS Removal Tool is a deceptive application created by hackers with the intent to extort money from unwary computer users. This process takes place from MS Removal Tool’s aggressive extortion techniques. Computer users think that in order to “fix” issues that MS Removal Tool has presented to them that they must purchase the full registered version of MS Removal Tool.
MS Removal Tool in full version form does not do anything more than the one that may be installed automatically from a malicious source online or a Trojan horse. In other words, MS Removal Tool is completely unable to detect or remove spyware and malware parasites. Regardless of MS Removal Tool’s popup messages, it should never be purchased. Purchasing MS Removal Tool would only put your credit card information in the hands of cybercrooks, the ones that may have created MS Removal Tool in the first place.
