Youtube virus?
Something very strange just happened to me. I was browsing youtube just fine yesterday, so it might be very recent. When I went to youtube.com, my antivirus software (which is spyware doctor) came up with a number of alerts saying that something was trying to install itself in my registry, and blocked a malicious exe. The exe said internetsecurity2010, which is apparently a malicious virus, from what I saw on another site. Anyone else get this?
Doesn't seem to affect embedded videos, but I have the main site blocked for the time being. Anyone able to check it out securly? My antivirus is very dependable and very rarely does the whole "false positive" thing, so it raised my eyebrow.
edit, link to description of said virus is this

It could be an ad on the site...Are you running firefox with no script/ad block? I've had youtube up all night and no pop ups for me.
