That removal tool is just the opposite: running it is what infects your machine. The result is the same: infection. That implies, of course, that you know your anti-malware software, and learn to recognize its messages. Any anti-malware tool is going to include its name in any message that it displayed. The problem here is that not all anti-malware software will catch all malware, and malware is constantly changing and evolving so as to avoid detection.
The best defense is your own good understanding. The messages will indicate that in order to remove the infection you need to purchase a specific program. Naturally, since this is a fairly common infection, many of the major anti-malware tools are racing to keep up.
In particular, MalwareBytes Anti-malware has a pretty good reputation for being able to remove these pests. Make sure your anti-malware software is up-to-date, and run complete scans — it may remove the infection. Use a tool like MalwareBytes Anti-malware to attempt to remove the infection.

I use Web Of Trust mywot. Its not perfect, nothing can be, but you are safer obeying its ratings than not. The Internet needs a user guide for non-techies running Windows.
Not having one just drives more and more people to Macs. Unless my Trackball button is broken, I did not click on any popup. I was wondering if the popup can be activated by the pointer just going over the popup without clicking? Anyone here have that happen? Today, I cleaned out the replacement computer.
It replaced a disabled computer that I did not restore, yet at work. I was looking at something on the web, but not clicking on anything when Antivirus was suddenly on my computer. This program has something built into it that puts code in your registry to prevent Malwarebytes from running or even opening. I finally found instructions on the web for making a small program in notepad, and renaming it reg. After that, getting rid of the program was really easy. Nice program, even if you have to pay for some features.
The one and only malware I ever got on one of my computers was a rogueware. That sucked. I have used Malwarebytes before for the malware virus and it works. It takes awhile but it works. You do not have to click on anything to get these lastest infections.

The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below: Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity.
Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model. Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat.
The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter. Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis.
High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count. Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat.
Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.
