I don't want to get my PC infected again so I need to try and avoid it. But I don't know where it is.

There are several anti-virus and anti-spyware programs on the market. Do you have a specific one in mind?

No it's named "Security Tool"
"Security Tool" aka "Security Tool virus"

I'm not clear are you looking for a tool to specifically clean out a particular virus?

As this is a drive by infection it's very difficult to know exactly where you got it from.
