My system is infected by the trojan Antivirus 2009.

I am Recieving fake alerts similar to the Windows pop ups stating my system is infected
or my security is being compromized.
To fix this download Antivirus 2009 and no no matter what you click OK or Cancel or close the window by clicking the x, it opens the web site that has the Purchase or pay for the crap.

I have tried Norton, McAfee, PC Cillin, Spybot, Ad Aware, AVG Antispyware scans.
Disabled System Restore n performed scans.
Performed scans in safe mode.
All programs fully updated but it is not detected by any.

I remember that I had a similar infection in the past and it was removed by the Vundoo trojan removal tool that I had downloaded.
I do not have that fix now.

Need some help
