Happened to me earlier. Virus scanner picked it up and removed it though.
Edit: It happened when I was using IE. Has not happened when I use Firefox with ABP and No Script.

I clicked on the ABP symbol on FF and found some lines regarding my350z. I have no idea what I'm looking at, but the filter shows some kind of ad request from Germany? Type = script. WTF does all that mean? Anyone else?

Firefox with Ad Block Plus (ABP) and No Script.
Microsoft Security Essentials.
Comodo Firewall.
No virus issues so far. My other laptop is the one that had the virus problem which only has Windows Defender.

I always have AVG running, and I use FF ABP. After some posts I read yesterday, I went ahead and used Malwarebytes in safe mode to make sure I was clean.

If you are experiencing the fake windows antivirus, here's the removal instructions. I did this and it worked for me:
