Guys, this is such obvious scare propaganda to sell you their anti-virus software (which I would be more scared about installing).

Basically their pitch is: Be afraid, be a afraid, there is this malware we have no idea how it gets to your computer, but we have it and have analyzed what it does. And did you know that if you had our antivirus program you would be completely safe.

And as it turns out it's just another trojan horse that has to be installed by user to work.
