Trojan alert

Got a small problem. I installed a bit of software that was an update to another program. Now I get regular "alerts" in the form of a toolbar flag up saying that I have a Trojan and I should visit this website  http://www.viruslocker.com/ to buy their product to fix said problem.
Having run my McAfee online scan twice, I am of the opinion that this is just a ruse to get me to buy the software. Has anyone got any idea of how I can remove this, it is getting to be more than a little annoying.

Thanks

Matt

Any time I have a problem like that I google a description of the symptom.  Do a google search of the exact text of the toolbar flag and you'll probably turn up some good info.

Thanks Chris, a Google search recommended to set the system back a couple of days. It seems to have worked.

Good old McAfee  ;D

I run that too, never had a problem since getting it.
