   I got a virus yesterday by doing a Google search on my website (I do   
   that once a year to see what's going on and some interesting stuff   
   popped up).  On one site (foreign site) they appeared to be taking   
   photos and deep linking on purpose to my site... (banter back and   
   forth on a forum) but was hard to tell.   
      
   Then the other site got me... JUST after that site above, I was   
   suspicious so the next site had a "video" with my site's name on it.   
   When I went to hit play (and for a while I was suspicious it was a   
   virus, but I've never ever seen a site before that was set up to lure   
   people into it!; usually viruses are by email, or in links people send   
   etc).  So after talking to my hubby, he said to click and stupid me   
   listened and boom... virus.  What an ever loving pain in the ass this   
   virus is.  It's called the IE Anti-virus and before it was completely   
   downloaded I stopped it, but not good enough.   
      
   you Couldn't click on anything without a notice saying I had to   
   download certain software.  to get rid of it, my hubby tried various   
   things including a system restore.  THAT deleted my desktop and all   
   its contents (I still have on my PC but have to reorganize everything,   
   find everything and even rename things).  My email wouldn't work   
   either.  And then there was of course all the spyware etc I had to run   
   to try to get rid of it and after 5 or 6 programs, we had to "buy" one   
   that actually fixed it (I am wondering if this virus was invented by   
   them).   
      
   I almost never get fooled with stuff. I delete almost everything and   
   am savvy to scams but this one was new to me.  So be VERY careful.   
   Sites you go on are designed SPECIFICALLY for this virus and nothing   
   more... the virus was called the IE Anti-virus or something to that   
   effect.   
      
   I am running now but gee friggin whiz; what a pain.  I just know karma   
   will multiply 10 times the time that was wasted from each person who   
   had to fix their stuff onto the makers... so looks like they'll be in   
   jail or hell for quite a while.
