Downloaded via a prompt usually. Be more careful about what you ALLOW onto your computer.

Was it AVG which detected it?

Download SPYBOT Search & Destroy, which will monitor what you pass through while browsing, and alert you, or get rid of spyware, adware etc. It's free.

Hi, I am a computer whizz. This type of virus is the worst you can get. You need to pour petrol over your pc and burn it, quickly, before it infects all your furniture.
