    Default AntiVirusGolden-VirusBurst: Not being detected

    I get a little red circle icon with a dash through it in the bottom right windows bar, where all the icons show up indicating a program is running or whatever. If I mouse over the icon it says: "Critical Error!". And every minute or so it pops up a message saying, "Critical System Error! System detected virus activities. They may cause critical system failure. Please, use antimalware software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs. Click this baloon to get all available software."

    If I click the icon, it opens up my web browser (Firefox) and directs me to VirusBurst.com

    I ran SpyBot several times and i'm still getting this popup. It seemed to stop the AntiVirusGolden popups, but I still get this one.

    How do I get rid of this?
