You know those warnings you got? They're fakes that try to get you to download harmful software. Clicking yes and downloading the random spyblockers are actually how you get these viruses and malware. The whole "scanning your system" bit is nothing more than a convincing picture that looks like an actual virus-scanner.

It's basically a virus that tell you you have a virus. =_= at least that's how my brother in law explained it. I got a message saying I had "potential embarassing adult material on my computer that could lead to firing from a job or a failed marriage." I just hit the little x button at the top. I don't know why but going back two to three weeks on system restore fixed it.
