One of my most popular Hubs on Hubpages, I'm reprinting this here so that as many people as possible may benefit from it.
Just so you're all aware there is a new malware being spread out on the net. I got hit with it earlier today visiting what looked like a legitimate video site.
It's called "Antivirus XP 2008" and is attached to a download of a codec pack that you are told is needed to view a video or picture.
It actually plants a constant image on a blue desktop (you lose your desktop image, if you have one) and a constant pop-up generates, telling you that a virus has been detected and directs you to a very good replica of a microsoft page that wants $50 - $100 for the Antivirus XP 2008 cure (depending on the package you purchase). It is a POS and also has to be removed...
