[Nottingham] Can I really have spyware?

[Ron Wilton]

Hello

I click on the following webpage through Google

http://thehandworkstudio.com/blog/page.php?id=1359

I get a message saying:-
Your computer is running slower than normal, maybe it is infected with with Viruses, Adware or Spyware.

Antivirus 2009 will perform a quick and completely FREE scan of your system for malicious software.

Download Antivirus 2009 for FREE now!


When I cancel this I get the following website doing a check on my computer

http://online-antivirus.net/xv/?ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-GB%3Aunofficial&client=firefox-a


When I cancel this window, I get another one saying that

Your PC is still infected with spyware!
Return to http://online-scan.net/ and download spyware removal tool!



What is happening? I'm not getting to the page that I'm trying to get to. Is it possible that my computer is infected? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04LTS.

Thanks

Ron
