No one knows, that's the whole point. If you need help removing it, check this site out:

It is completely bogus that "no one knows" as stated above. The money attempting to be collected by the program has to go a bank account that could easily be tracked and the perpetrator/s prosecuted. The reason know one is said to know or more likely that no one is saying who is because there is a lot more money to be made from the infection running rampant and absolutly no money to be made from bringing its creator/s to justice.

The program even has a website! I'm fairly certain the web domain and server space is not paid for directly by the perp or at least I'd hope not. But the server could easily be located by even complete amature hacks and from that point it is simply a matter of spending the time to analyze the data that created the site and or the network packets that maintain it. If the site were created in house rather than over the internet that would make things even easier to find the person behind this. There simply is no money in bringing unknown hacks to justice for their crimes thus none of the above gets done.

Heres some food for thought.

If a hackers infection got so far as this program does your computer would be in a lot more trouble that could be fixed by following 5 simple steps of a website to remove it.

Is a hacker going to try and trick you to send money via a very traceable credit card to a even more traceable bank account? Well that could happen but I can assure you almost 99% that you will not know its even happening. Its deffinatly not going to occur through pretty scripted windows that you click on with your mouse.

The whole idea of a hack is to do it without the victim knowing anything until the hacks creator choses to let the victim know. As far as this program gets it would be better and easier to just load a keylogger and packet sender to silently record your next credit card transaction, steal you info, and send it to also deduct an extra $30. That is assuming that the $30 is what they wanted which is what whoever created this wants you to believe. I promise if $30 per person is all they wanted it would have been done silently and much easier coding that this elaborate and flashy maleware.

So, if a hacker didn't make it who did? Well if you find the link between "Security Tool" and its legitimate owner, not just some pawn, I would bet you would shake the computer secuity/repair industry to its foundation.

The above answer is pure speculation, and should be treated as such. Is it true? Who can say? Not the person who wrote it, since you'll notice they didn't provide any proof of this claim.
