Virus Alert! (NOT the Weird Al song)

Beware of a new Trojan computer virus around. The "VISTA Antivirus 2008" is a new fake anti-virus, a spyware virus program and the successor of the "Windows Antivirus 2008". It can come at any time, so run regular virus and spyware scans. The main way it is noticed is a "virus scan" that lists multiple viruses, despite any previous virus scan indicating otherwise. It also has a constant pop-up window appears that says it detects a "Blaster/Sasser. variant" worm on your computer. THIS IS THE MAIN WAY OF TELLING THAT IT'S FAKE! You can Google it and receive instructions on how to manually remove it, although using a spyware scanner/remover is safer and more recommended.
