System Tool 2011, Security Tool and MS Removal Tool have another addition to their family now, as MS Recovery Tool has showed up. It is a new rogue antispyware application which is designed to look and act like real security program, at the same time luring money and information out of unsuspecting users. For the obvious reasons, one must terminate MS Recovery Tool right when the malicious application is detected.
In general, as MS Recovery Tool pretends to be a trustworthy security program, it tries to support its treacherous "shell" by performing a fake system scan, during which it will always "detect" a number of infections in user's computer. It is important to point out that it will "find" undesirable objects even if the computer is absolutely clean. Even if the computer is infected, MS Recovery Tool will not be able to find the real infection, because the scan will only display the results which have been programmed into the software beforehand. Therefore, all the information displayed in the pleasantly pink interface cannot be trusted.
MS Recovery Tool might be "detecting" all kinds of threats, ranging from worms and Trojans, but everything is devised so that the program would look reliable and the user would be inclined to use its services while getting rid of the "threats". However, since the threats in question do not exist, the money spent on purchasing the license for MS Recovery Tool would be completely wasted. Not to mention that in the license purchase page the user is asked to fill a form, where he has to reveal his personal information and credit card number. This data can be easily used later on by third parties in performing all sorts of illegal deals.
The computer user simply must take his security seriously these days. And it starts with treasuring your personal data and not giving it away to anyone and anywhere. Therefore, when MS Recovery Tool asks for your credit card data, don't fill in that form, and close the purchase page at once. In order to protect yourself and your computer, you need to erase MS Recovery Tool once and for all, using a genuine security program.
