Hey recently my computer has gotten a virus. A screen keeps on appearing saying my credit card details are being stolen etc ...... the name of this program is called "security tools" so iam guessing it is harmfull.

the screens background display is completely black so i was wondering if there is anything anyone can do to help me.

Also can you refer me to some gd anti viruses to keep my computer protected in the future.

    Hey Mar75!

    Just seen that one the other day.

    Get yourself a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware... http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    Install it and update it if it will let you, if not then reboot in safe mode and just install it.

    Do a scan in safe mode and follow the screen prompts to clean up all the problems that you have.

    Reboot back into normal mode and run it again getting updates this time and do another scan.

    If MalwareBytes Anti-Malware will not clean this up then download Dr. Web Cure-It Live CD, burn it to a disk and reboot with the CD.

    ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/livecd/minDrWebLiveCD-5.0.1.iso

    As far as Anti-Virus programs go I use Avast!, it works the best out of the free ones (IMHO). You just have to Register with them for a key.

    Good Luck!
