Pseudo Virus Warning - Malware Defender 2009
This one is starting to pop its ugly head out now, be on the lookout and just click the little X to close the screen.

Seen it a number of times over the past month after someone clicked OK.
Safemode and Malwarebytes updated works well

The bad grammar in the wording of the dialog gives it away as dodgy, doesn't it!

I should submit it to Engrish.com - shouldn't I?

Being a neophyte in many areas, I am going to ask;
Could a nasty person design a malware thing with its' own interface box such that it looked like a Windows box BUT clicking on the little red 'x' actually did something else?
I don't know, so I always (like 3 times in 7 years) use Task Manager and stop the process.

As always, CCT is correct. I have seen different versions of this that are coded so that any click allows it to load. Task manager is the way to go.

Malware Defender 2009 seems to be a rather popular problem these days. Caught it a little while ago, but managed to remove it manually with these instructions.
