I recieved this in an email from a good friend of mine. Please pass it on to all you know!!

Okay, I'm giving a head's up on a virus, as we've got this right now and I was told by our computer guy to pass this along to people so they don't get it too. It's called "Antivirus 2009". A box will come up, saying your system has been compromised, or something to that effect. Now, normally, you would just click on the "X" to get out of it, right? DON'T...this virus will start IMMEDIATELY after you click on the "X" to get out of that box. What you should do is either hit "CTRL ALT DEL" and then "End Task", or just go to your START button and shut down immediately. I was told we are in no danger of any of our personal information being passed on, that this is more of an "annoyance" virus, but still, believe me, it is an annoyance. It CAN'T be removed even with McAfee (which we have) or other virus programs.
We need to take our tower in to our computer guy and they will work on cleaning it up. But remember, if you get anything that says "Antivirus 2009", don't click on the "X"...shut down immediately or CTRL ALT DEL! This will save you ALOT of headaches. Our Computer Guy said they have been bombarded with people getting this, so I wanted to let you all know!
