Has anyone got this lately, cause yesterday I had happened to have got the virus but I cleaned and removed a few hours later.
Just wondering.
Uh, how did you manage to get it?

Started up Firefox
Prompted me to "update" so I thought it was the firefox updater, it apparently wasn't the FF updater.
Unfortunately there are hundreds of viruses that are all basically the same thing, all using terms like "Vista" "XP" "Total Security" "2011", etc. If we've had something similar it'll have a different name most likely.

Not too many viruses use that term.
What?
Look I'm saying they go by TONS of names:
