Attention! If your computer is infected…

Please read all of this before replying.

I’ve had several users receive the following pop-up message over the past few months while using Windows XP and IE…

ATTENTION! If your computer is infected,you could suffer data loss, erratic PC behaviour, PC freezes and creahes.
Detect and remove viruses before they damage your computer!
Antivirus 2009 will perform a quick and 100% FREE scan of your computer for VIruses, Spyware and Adware.
Do you want to install Antivirus 2009 to scan your computer for malware now? (Recomended)

It’s an annoying pop-up that cannot be removed no matter what I try it seems.

Before you start recommending ad-aware, spybot, hijackthis, symantec, macfee, etc. etc. etc. I’VE TRIED THEM ALL. They didn’t work. Please don’t recommend another spyware removal tool. This is obviously something more malicious.

Has anyone else encountered this annoying pop-up and how did you remove it for good? It seems to have a nasty habit of replicating.
