Your best bet is probably the Virus & Malware Removal forum.

I've cleaned up a few pcs with this malware. It's easily removed tho, just follow the steps http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-tool

Ironbar

I can recommend Malwarebytes Antimalware and Spybot S&D. They're the best and easy to use. I have a few more but theyre harder to use for inexperienced people.
