Win7 Security Tool

I recently was playing Fallen Earth, and suddenly a pop up saying "Win7 Security Tool" and begins "scanning". I used to think avast! was tough on cracking down and destroying viruses, but I guess not. I ran a full scan in safe mode, deleted several viruses and it still comes up alot. Several other fake virus programs are popping up, but I have tried this:

Spyware doctor (you have to BUY!?)
Avast!
AVG
Deleting the Registries paired with this stuff

I need some help, my subscription is wasting away while I combat this virus.

win 7 security tool is a malware threat, not a virus thats why avast never picked up on it. although you said it deleted a couple of files.

johnb35 will give you advice on how to get rid of this
