Answer 1

It sounds like you have a SMITFRAUD VIRUS.  This virus requires specific steps to remove.  Below is information from Bleeping Computer.

HTH!

======================================...

Smitfraud / Generic Zlob / Quicknavigate / Virtual Maid REMOVAL

SmitFraud has become a term to mean an infection where fake security alerts appear in your taskbar stating that you are infected. These alerts tend to be accompanied by a rogue anti-spyware program installed on your computer without your consent. Clicking on one of these fake security alerts will either bring you to a home page where you can purchase other fraudulent software or will install automatically, without your permission, one of these software.

I am currently unable to give you a link, so use Google to search for the words under the row of ===========.

Answer 3

Virus Remover 2008 is a fake anti -spyware program that is often downloaded by a trojan or other dangerous programs. Virus Remover 2008 launches on Windows startup and may generate large numbers of popup adverts. Virus Remover 2008 will also display notifications of imaginary security risks in its attempts to get the user to purchase the full version. Virus Remover 2008 can be extremely difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself.
