DO NOT save this to your computer as it is a piece of malware from some east European country. Usually Russia. It wants you to buy the product. Sometimes these will automatically self install. Once installed you cannot use what you already have for antivirus software, or defrag your computer. It can also lock up your computer and you won't be able to even shut it down.

This has happened to me a couple of times and is no fun at all to get rid of. I couldn't even use Microsoft Security Essential to get rid of it. Not even using Add/Remove in your Control Panel will get rid of it. The only way to get rid of it is to do a System Restore to an previous date. Then run your antivirus software to get it all out.
