How To Remove SystemTool 2011

System Tool 2011 'SystemTool' is malware cleverly designed to act like legitimate system tool and anti-virus program. It unfortunately is nothing more than a 'rogue' program. This type of malware is designed to trick the computer user into believing there is something wrong with their computer, and that it can be fixed with this program. Furthermore, systemtool 2011 (like most other rogue malware) then pretends to try to repair the damage (or clean the virus) but ultimately fails - requiring you to purchase the licensed version - which promises to clean the infection or problem. 

Ultimately, buying the 'licensed version' results in nothing being cleaned or removed, and you have no recourse to get a refund.
