Anti-Virus Virus?

I was sitting peacefully at the computer when suddenly an authentic-looking message popped up with multiple warning signs alerting me to the fact that I had not only 364 infected files but a chance to download Malware2009.exe in order to address them.

"Hm," I thought. "Without touching a key I've gone from no infected files to 364?" I decided to reboot the computer and do a virus scan, which turned up clean. I have a hunch that had I downloaded Malware, those infected files would've become a self-fulfilling prophecy!
