Do not download the program they are offering you.
It's part of the scam/trojan.
Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner to clean up your computer.
Antivirus: BitDefender Online scanner - will scan and remove threats.
Anti adware/spyware: Ewido Online Scanner - will scan and remove threats.

Trojan.Patched.B
( Trojan.Win32.Patched.b, TR/Patched.B, W32/Bobax.be, )

"Removal instructions:
Please let BitDefender disinfect your files."

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect, not even the expensive ones but a good mixture will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean. It is advisable not to run two or more anti virus applications.
For starters, download, update and run a full scan using the following product:
http://www.superantispyware.com/
SuperAntiSpyware is exceptional and will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones.
If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
Next to get a grip of any snippets still left behind download & run SpyWareTerminator
http://www.spywareterminator.com
In addition download, update & run Avira. Unlike a lot of the free antivirus applications this will give you real time protection and is very quick to load at boot up.
http://www.avira.com
Assuming you have some real awkward infections and the suggestions above failed to totally clean your system I suggest you download a Smitfraud removal program from:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop_software/desktop_security/smitfraudfix.cfm
Again if possible run in Safe Mode.
And VundoFix:
http://vundofix.atribune.org/
Be advised that some infections will corrupt or disable your resident security products so for completeness I have listed a couple of online scans that may help you get started:
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/Ac...
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Good luck & safe surfing.

Trojan.Win32.Patched is a real and extremely dangerous trojan horse. But some misleading programs (like IEDefender and FilesSecure) displays Trojan.Win32.Patched infection warning as their scan results to scare users and force them to order this useless software. It is important to remove this malware as soon as possible because it can open security holes and install different spyware.

Hi, this is very easy, although it's just taken me 12 hrs to find this out for myself!! You need to download the latest version of Hijack This. When it scans it will pull up scores of files most of which are spyware which is necessary for your system to run. The only file you need to delete is the one which contains the term: poswin.dll. Deleting this will successfully delete the file and hot key values. Due to the nature of Trojanwin32PATCHED you will have trouble using your brower and getting to a site to download Hijack This but my tip is to click on 'cached' information for the site you want to get to the download on, using 'cached' seems to outwit the nasty malware trojanwin32patched. Good Luck!

A good registry cleaner I use is CCleaner. It's a reliable tool to get rid of worms, trojams, malwares and viruses that affect your pc performances. Free download here http://j.mp/UrADIO
