So I'm working away at my computer today and suddenly a box pops up warning me that I have a virus. Of course it's the real virus that is warning me about other nonexistant viruses. Send $50 (to Russia, it seems) and it will be fixed. The program is called Winweb Security.
I found the .exe file and deleted it, but it reappeared on reboot. A full McAfee scan found a few items, but not the winweb.
There's a real company, winweb.com, that's having a bad week as this thing is popping up all over and folks are calling them all pissed off. They're actually doing their best to help.

I did a system restore back to a couple of days ago and so far everything seems fine. Can I expect this to reappear or should that take care of it?
