    Where did get that security tool from?
    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?

    No it looks like a antivirus but it's actually a virus

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

    It's quite a popular infection that goes by different names. It's been keeping my little side business of tech support a little busy.

    Here's a good article related to it: LizaMoon infection: a blow-by-blow account
