I dont run any Virus scaners but i am VERY careful of whta i open and look at :)

Going online without anti-virus protection is asking for trouble. I suggest you get AVG Free & install it immediately, if not sooner. http://free.avg.com/gb-en/download?prd=afg

I don't think anti-virus software would have detected this one. Internet Security 2010 is malware. A scan with Malwarebytes will usually do the trick. Make sure to get the latest updates before running the scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/

I've been fairly successful running without any anti-virus for awhile myself but eventually you will want something, even if its not actively protecting you.

I'd recommend running Avast (AVG is just as good) which is free, and Spybot Search and Destroy (which is also free) at the very least. If you want malware protection the above mentioned would be good.

SBS&D Only runs when you tell it, and Avast takes very little memory or processor power. You'll hardly notice they're there until you need them.  8-)
