Fake Windows Security Defender/Security Tool
Well today went perfectly fine and my computer ran normally until about an hour ago. I was on the internet and all of a sudden it opens a couple programs. One was Security Tool and the other, Windows Security Defender. It always pops up saying that I supposedly had "viruses" on my computer and it needed to fix them. Sophos Anti-Virus also announced that I had several malwares on my computer. After going through basic things such as deleting the files, I noticed my recycling bin was gone also. Next came a restart, with no luck. Then I proceeded to scan with Spybot and HijackThis. I'm not a computer whiz, so I don't know what the problem is now.

This is my HijackThis log.
