i was just going to isohunt cus thats usually where i download my pc comics then i got this warning from a website "XP antivirus". it said that my computer might crash or freeze or something if i dont get what its offering, a free virus scan. the scan was unusually quick and it told me i have 2 trojans and a worm that they already dealt with, then it said that if i wanted to have the two trojans removed i'd have to install/run their program on my computer, when i tried to exit the offer, another popup came up and said "If you want your computer clean dont exit this window". i got scared and confused…i clicked run, but then after a few minutes xpa or XP antivirus was not responding. what happened? is this a fake or a trick? they used windows in its logo? is this official or real? or is it a virus itself?
holy S**t , just foundout it was a fake, how to i get rid of it when i made it run on my computer! i cant find it in programs in my control panel but i found a folder of it in my program files folder, do i delete it and all is good or do i have to do something else. help!

get a PROPER antivirus package, and PROPER spyware package, start your computer in safe mode (press F8 during bootup) and run both antivirus and antispyware scans
