Many folks are getting error pop ups that read "Warning spyware detected", "Your computer is infected, windows has detected spyware infection", or "Warning spyware detected on your computer".

Virtumonde and Vundo usually come on their own, and don't want to go away. On the sad part, popular security programs can do nothing about it. Symantec, McAfee, PC Tools, Ad-aware, Trend Micro and others fail to detect these types of malware too often.
