What is "Security Tool"? Is this an actual antivirus program or a malicious virus?

[jracer524]

It all started when I opened an e-mail from facebook family link that was in my inbox. All of a sudden this window pops up saying that I have 44 viruses on the computer. It said that I had to download something to take care of the viruses. I clicked on it and since then the computer has never been the same again. Oddly enough I already had an antivirus program installed called F-Secure 2010. How can anyone avoid what happened to me?
