It is one of those fake antivirus programs - it's called "Antivirus Soft". I googled it and got instructions on how to remove it manually because it has disabled all downloading and running of files. (You can't do anything because of the popups anyway) I'll have to go through the registry and everything to get rid of it, but I have the instructions how.

I am using Anti-Vir free antivirus, but the comments on the sites with removal instructions said it got around Norton and McAfee too, so it's not just the free antivirus software that failed.

If you want to send me a Norton, that'd be sweet. How much would I owe you?

And I'm glad that I'll be able to use the computer normally once I get that stupid trojan out of there. I'll unplug it from the internet when I get home. The machine is off right now. I'm actually going to use that internet connection in my laptop until I get my desktop fixed.

You're so awesome!
