Dang the points, I decided this was the quickest ans safest way to inform the YA Community.

I Did The Following:
Scanned with AVG Anti Virus.
Ran CCleaner
Scanned With Norman Removal Tool.
Ran asquared.
Ran AdAware.
Ran ewido anti spyware.
Ran Spybot.
Ran Spyware blaster.
Not neccesarily in that order, but the virus is removed.
This morning's AVG Scan Confirmed.

Funny, No info on what Browser I use, and some thing other browsers wont let these things happen.
Read more CNet e-newsletters and read what is being found out there.

I tried to clean the exploit virus but..unfortunately it embeds itself in some way that my AVG Antivirus cannot clear..so I had to reinstall OS.
