yes, it's most likely cross-frame scripting from malicious ads displayed on the page. You're probably using IE?0

yeah I've seen that same fake virus scanner ****. It's just the browser's security vunerability that allows ads which are inside frames to somehow redirect the parent frame. just get ad blockerz0

Don't know enough about linux to get into a redhat hax pissing match... heh..
But this explains the ctfmon.exe virus a bit more, maybe ya answeres are there?
http://ctfmonexevirus.com/
Anyway, edit to add -sorry been in (another game) all this time- I had the same issues few weeks back, ran system scans, ran virus programs both software, and online ones, went and dug through files manulaly, never once showed any malware, virus, spyware. Then I posted a hijack this and someone pointed out that the ctfmon was showing when and where it wasnt supose to be, and asked me to look in the system32 folder to see if it was compressed (meaning colored in blue) if not, then it was being used, which means an outisde source is useing it as its support as an .exe Basically it re-writes it in the HKEY to call out to that paticular file..
Anyway, short story to hours of insane ****, that was the source of the problem...0 -

For some Reason I think I should congratulate you for succesfully downloading Scareware on your PC. you should run a Malware Removal Tool.0
