If you don't know what it is, it's probably something you don't want
installed anyway. Some viruses and fake antivirus software try
to install even if you don't want them.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

Interesting. That article translates to "more Symantec Norton problems."
