Odd. Was it through an ad?

I'd strongly advise searching for a removal tool online for the relevant software (if you can't find its name, this might be helpful? : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rogue_security_software) if your computer lets you browse the Internet and then doing a (real) virus scan after removing it. I remember that I once got a rogue anti malware program called AntiVir Solution Pro simply by clicking an ad link, which hijacked the program on to my computer. I don't know how exactly.

you may also have an actual virus, disguising itself as an antivirus. I've had them before.

What i did was went strait to the anti-virus i had already installed and ran a scan. It found it and removed it quickly.

it was serious
it blocked internet explorer
it misppelled warning
it's called xp total secruity 2011
and finally anti virus scans wont detect it as it block secruity detection
and I dont have admin contorls to boot up in safe mode which can detect it when you run a scan in safe mode

Sadly, there are some Anti-viruses who demand that the Default Internet Browser on your computer is set to Internet Explorer.

Fortunately, AVG is not one of them.
