I got this on my PC a few weeks back, downloaded stealthily by offering me an Adobe update when on the BBC site!
Lots of info on removal if you Google it but it was all too technical for me. Called the local PC engineer and he removed it in about an hour, charged me £40 total and the PC works better than ever.
