Adware or Spyware remover


Question Posted Tuesday August 1 2006, 5:22 pm

I downloaded a new codec to watch a movie, after I did it I instolled it and then all hell broke loss.
A massege on my tollbar apeared saying "Your comuter is infected. Critical system error. System detected virus activities.they may cause critical sysytem failure. please use a antimalware software to clean and protect your system from peresute programs. click here to get all available software". and if I click it a net page opens that from it I can download a program that later I found out I had to buy to use.
I want to know is it a adware that got into my comuter or is it a real virus alert from windows?
