 I just got a good one. Typical "ATTN. WINDOWS MAY BE AT RISK CLICK HERE TO DOWNLAOD (sic) ANTI-VIRUS" popups. Atypical symptoms: whenever I run AdAware or Spybot the computer crashes to a BSOD talking about some "non registered anti-spyware" crap. I'm running a scan in safe mode now to see if that does anything. Another interesting thing, and I have no idea how it can do this, whenever I go to popular AV distributor like Norton or the AdAware/Spybot sites, even malwarebytes.org, I get redirected to some random search page like you see when a domain expires/is squatted. Also there's that lovely new desktop icon labeled "Gay Fetish Sex."

Ring any bells, because this one is beyond my (admittedly limited) capabilities.
