If you get a popup saying that your computer need Malware Defender 2009 - close out the window - DO NOT CLICK OK.

It is a pseudo virus and will install the virus when you click OK and it will re-route you to their website each time you open IE.

I got it but closed out the popup.

Thanks for the info, but...
It should not be limited to this example.
You should close the browser for any unknown site with such popup.
You can use "task manager" to force shut down if some site won't allow you to close the browser.
