Why you keep getting fake antivirus warnings
It's called "Google Image Poisoning", and it's pretty damned widespread. I've been dealing with up to 10 of these damned things, per week, with an average of about 6.

Stop doing Google IMAGE searches for porn. Use text searches.

I deal with a couple of these a year. Most of them are easy to get rid of, but every so often one can be a little bitch. The one I got most recently from the Tosh.0 link from a thread in here was a monster.

I've worked on maybe a dozen different flavours, of this thing, and you simply can't reliably recover from some of them.

I can't even count how many I've gotten rid of maybe 50+.. shouldn't take longer than 20 mins to get rid of it even with roaming profiles with the virus files getting in multiple places.. I'm actually surprised how easy these new forms of virus/spyware are to get rid of, it's actually making my job a lot easier. Seems like they're getting lazy..

Last thing I'm going to say about this
The fake virus warning isn't the only package delivered, in all cases. There are at least a dozen variants, with different packages and effects.
