All I do all day is work with computers, and what myself and my colleagues have been witness to is every other indecent we get in seems to be someone contracting the hoax trojan antivirus 2009.
It seems this thing is really wide spread.
As of December approx 400,000 machines infected
You might get it visiting some random page and and a pop-up gives you some window scaring you with how many viruses you have on your machine, then from there on, you can click and install, you can even click through more once you installed the program to actually pay for the program.
It will stay on your system, paying and giving your credit card does nothing to get rid of it. (mind you, you'll probably have bigger issues if you did that but will only find out when you credit card statement comes in).
Microsoft has declared a fix.
The official microsoft fix is here.
Here is also 2 links I found very useful for removing the program manually, if the microsoft fix doesn't work.
Why shouldn't this microsoft fix work I say? Well it was on the Microsoft platform that this Trojan had spread itself.
I found a source for quick removal.
I gotta give my sources credit. You can check out srajure's profile page here.

Also srajure's further detailed information and instructions on how to remove it.
