virus type popup

[youngestchild]

hey, i've had a pop come up. it closed down firefox and asked me to install software... as i was just about to click something on the page as it closed i think i may have accidentally clicked the popup and another website opened up... now sometimes when i open a website this "winantispyware" page comes up instead... i've searched for this and all i'm getting is that its a windows virus and ways of getting it of a M$ machine... like this:

for the brave, here is a link that popped up in firefox when i tried to connect to macrumors the first time...

Have you restarted Firefox (and maybe the machine) since this happened? Have you deleted your history, cache and whatnot? Does this thread cover what you were experiencing?

thanks. (i did actually search the forum before starting a new thread, nothing showed up)... but it happens on other websites too.... i restarted firefox and have it set to delete cache on closing... will manually delete all history etc.
