Warning: PC bug, Antispyware 2011 (trojan)
I had this 2 days ago, too, but on PC and it was called the Security whatever threat, with terrible pop ups and slow death.
I googled and found out it was the AntiSpyware 2011, trojan, while trying to get rid of it, also downloaded very sketchy Spyware Doctor, probably a similar trojan since it blocked all it could and constantly just demanded cash.
I managed to remove all nasties by switching into safe mode, updating malware bytes and spybot search and destroy, neither worked in regular mode, nor mozilla, nor avira. I had to react quick, update all and run through, it took a couple of runs, too. Went to bed at 5am.
I didn't dare manually remove, since it seemed complicated, but if you catch it fast and zip over to safe mode, then use the anti trojan stuff, it seemed to work. Some damage might have been done since I don't seem to be able to switch my pc to automatic updates, the security center seems to be bugging, still. I need to upgrade my technical geekiness, fo sho, seriously lacking.
