A screen has appeared right before my MSN screen comes up stating that

exit the ad. I have not downloaded it.
Any ideas how to get this thing off there? I have run updated
versions of Systemworks, Spybot and Ad Aware and nothing is detected.
Thanks
This is a scam and you've got one of the many variants of
Smitfraud/Spyaxe/Spyfalcon, etc. Do Method 2 from the malware removal
steps here:

It would be wise to go through these steps systematically also:
