Through a series of small miracles, I was able to remove an accidental install of Security Tools. Afterwards, I used the Microsoft malicious software removal tool to clean up lingering viruses, but I had a strange feeling that it didn’t get them all. So I also tried scanning with Kapersky, which was never able to find any viruses (including the ones Microsoft found). Anyhow, after hearing several recommendations, I decided to try Malwarebytes, but after an error-free install, it won't scan for more than a few seconds. I get the above-named run-time error, which I only found posted one other time. For that guy, the solution was to uninstall one of his anti-virus utilities, but I'm only using Kapersky. I also tried creating rules for mbam.exe, like the FAQ suggests, but that didn't make much difference.

Do I still have a virus here? Any help is appreciated!

Yes it sounds like it's possible, or something prevented it from being installed correctly.
