I had a feeling that might have been the problem when you said you had virus protection, but you were still getting messages. I hate those free trials that come with the new computer! They expire so quick it's not even worth it.
Glad you got everything fixed though!

I had a similar problem recently. I don't think it was this virus but it was something. I kept getting pop ups (not anything related to viruses), and then I would get a little notification in the corner coming from McAfee saying I wasn't fully protected. I would open up McAfee and clicked the button that said "Fix" but within a few minutes something would shut it off again.
Somehow I was able to get the virus scan running before it shut off again. I also ran Ad-Aware right after, and one of the two got the virus. It was a close one!
