This article claims that "Antivir 2010 can be installed onto a system by ignorant users who accept the offer advertised on malicious online scanners, ..."

The software also launches if you click Cancel. Once you have this nasty bug you are doomed.

I work in IT and my helpdesk guys have been fighting a bug I got last week. So far they have not gotten rid of it. I had sucess with Spyhunter at home, so I have downloaded it at work to see if it finds the bugger.
