Anyone know whats the best thing to do when you get some sort of virus?

I keep getting a box saying
"Your computer has been infected with 4 viruses"
and it wants me to go to http://spyaxe.net and buy their SpyAxe software, I'm guessing that's just a ploy to do more damage or to try and get credit card details???

Anyone heard of SpyAxe?

Especially this one, Adaware-Spyware remover.
Run it every few weeks, and will keep crap like that from clogging up
your PC.
Remember to update the signature file every few weeks.

Thanks, this is the message I get

Attention! Win32.HS.m2 SpyWare has just overcome default security software on Your PC. Your personal information and PC safety is in critical danger.
To clear Your PC and get rid of dangerous virus you need paid security system patch called "AD-PROJECT".
By clicking "Continue" You will be taken to official developer's page, where you may download the patch.

Not had a chance to go to those sites yet, I did load up Adware but still not 'cleared' it.
