MS Removal Tool is a rouge anti virus program that infects your pc with multiple spyware and malware issues. MS Removal Tool automatically installs itself from ActiveX files that are downloaded to your system due to flaws in your internet security settings or out of date spyware removal tools. Once a system is infected with this malware the program will continuously give messages about an infection on the PC via pop-ups, and notifications in the task menu. When this program runs it will appear to be running scans and it will present a list of “infections” and when it attempts to remove the infections it will prompt users to purchase the product to remove the infections. This is just a scam to scare users into submitting their credit card information.

Thank you for the info. MS Removal Tool is an SOB and I personally wish I could get my hands on the bastards that do this. Great info, great job.
Yes–this is a nasty one. My friend accidentally downloaded it, and I could barely run any programs. Safe mode is the key for fixing it.
Yes it is a nasty one, as long as Windows is kept up to date and users use safe browsing habits getting infected by these malicious programs can be avoided.
