System Security 2009 is the virus, though I think you figured that out. See the link below.

Hopefully that will take care of things for you.

Never install virus/spyware protection that you aren't sure about. Ask a friend or look up a review. Frequently lesser known "helpful" security software is actually just trying to install its own virus so that you have to pay then to remove it-- if you can't verify the software before installing it, it's probably a scam.

we got System Security 2009 on our computers at work - it came via a (hacked) legitimate site. They didn't actually realize they were downloading or installing anything until it was too late - and it was a pain to get rid of. it hid on external hard drives and had multiple registry entries to reinstall itself
