Question Is Antivirus 2008 from Mozilla legit?

I have a window now on my pc titled Antivirus 2008: Virus scanning and removal tool with realtime system monitoring-Mozilla Firefox. Here is the address line. Is this something I should install? or is it a virus itself?

Reported Attack Site!

This web site at antivirus-scanonline.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.

Yes it's the software itself that is the malware. Go to hijackthis forum and try to get help there.

Hi Larry, welcome to TSF

As SLAiNTRAX says, it's a rogue antispyware site. See here for confirmation.

66.199.252.162 antivirus-scanonline.com

Don't click on the link in post #1 or download anything from the site.

You are possibly already infected with spyware, so please follow these instructions (5 pages) and post the requested logs in a new thread here.
