I have run across several Personal Antivirus infections lately and just read an article on PC World that does a great job explaining what the attack looks like, but then revealed that on of the infected sites that Personal AV used to generate the fake pop-up warning was the New York Times web site. I recommend you click on the link and read this article. If you have been to that site lately and got a pop-up warning that you clicked on , the bad news is you ARE infected. Call you computer support professional and get yourself cleaned up. This one has been tough to remove without professional help.
