1. dont look at porn
2. DONT click any links or pop-ups that come up saying "fix this"
3. go out and buy Kaspersky anti-virus

shut off your comp. turn it back on, install avira antivirus, ccleaner, and revo uninstaller.
run avira, find viruses, fix them.
run revo, try to find whatever the fuck hit your computer, do an advanced uninstall
run ccleaner, do a registry fix, and a regular scan and clean (including firefox)

looks like some variation of the "Antivirus 2009" virus.

Once you get it off, be sure to keep your comp up to date with Windows updates (update.microsoft.com) and the latest virus definitions for your anti-virus. If your in college most shools provide Symantec Corperate (or somethign similar) for free, check your options, or some of the free ones like AVG and Spybot.
