Trojan.Win32.BlackBird Threat Level: 
Trojan.Win32.BlackBird is a trojan that appears in fake security alerts from rogue antispyware. Trojan.Win32.BlackBird popups could read:
“Your computer was infected with Trojan.Win32.BlackBird.
It’s dangerous for your system, some files can be lost and your browser can be slow!
Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your computer! (Recommended)”
or
“Your browser was hijacked by Trojan.Win32.BlackBird.”
This Trojan.Win32.BlackBird popup is supposed to scare you into buying the fake antispyware, like Smitfraud. You may have caught “Trojan.Win32.BlackBird” by a drive-by download, or getting tricked into downloading a fake video codec.
Unless you like getting ripped off, don’t download the software the Trojan.Win32.BlackBird popup links to. You’re not really infected with Trojan.Win32.BlackBird — you’re infected with fake anti-spyware that you need to remove.
