Trojan
That's true, but this particular trojan/virus self-installs and does NOT prompt you to install or run/download anything. As soon as you hit the home page, if you do not have an up-to-date anti-malware running, it tries to kick off a Java app and then opens Acrobat or Windows Media Player. It then installs itself. Happens pretty quickly before you can close out IE or Firefox.
so i logged in at work. i clicked on the main page. right after that i got this fake anti virus software called AntiVar that installed and was running a scan. now i cant visit any sites and the program keeps throwing up fake virus, then giving me a link to "purchase the software."
