    Security Tool Virus is a !!!!!!!I soo should've been a memeber here before I had it!Ended up spending several hours googling (from seperate account on same laptop as somebody accidently clicked to let security tool start it's work grr) and eventually downloaded superantispyware which got rid no problem!

    Have a feeling it would've been a lot quicker with you smartarses!

    Don't suppose you lot can recommend a good antivirus that picks trojans up? I've had another today that defender informed me of,it was meant to be sorted but turns out it wasn't!
