So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose default
install is loaded with malware. See also: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=27971
Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along.

It has to do with the fact that something put this on their without your
knowledge, and probably without your direct permission. A lot of people are
getting this from some program, could be adware/spyware, could be something
you installed and they didn't tell you it came along for the ride. Read the
articles and see if any of these apply to you.
