I use Norton Internet Security and it has a “Norton Safe Search” feature that I can use and it will put a little green icon by sites that Norton found safe when it visited them.  

But if it’s too late or you’re curious about this “virus/trojan/rogue program”, then visit this blog by a Symantec employee  for more information and instructions on removing the fake program.
