Fake Windows Pop-up with Sasser_d warning

Hello,
We received a pop-up that looked just like an actual
window pane from Windows, that read "Virus Warning!!!
Sasser_d Worm Detected Click OK to Scan and Disinfect".
This pop-up fills the screen and all your tool bars
disappear. The only choice is to click OK or to click
Cancel (or the close X box). Unfortunately, my boyfriend
clicked OK because he believed that hoax. Now the window
will pop-up from time to time while computing, even when i
already did a MS Update, Ran a Stinger, Ran a Virus Check,
added Google pop-up toolbar, and enabled my XP Personal
Firewall. We do not know what to do, and an onsite tech
person costs anywhere from $159.00 -- $229.00. Can
someone please give me some advise? Thank you . . .
