WARNING.. FAKE ANTI VIRUS/TROJAN . SYSTEM TOOL 2011

This is a scam that makes people think they have viruses when they do not.
When I had Norton scams like this didn't fool me because Norton always gave an unmistakable noise when it did something.
This scam makes it look as if it is the genuine Microsoft Security Essentials wanting to delete a Trojan.
it cerainly fooled me into thinking that anyway.
It will be easiest if I copy a message from another room

I might not be around for a few days.
I am using my old computer and it is very slow. I have to take my recent computer into PCworld because a virus has stopped it from working, I was all afternoon and evening yesterday trying to delete the virus, my son came down to help as well but we couldn't get rid of it.
The virus is called: SYSTEM TOOL 2011 It has really messed up my computer!!
I shall do my best to get in here.
Tammy.
