If you are sure that you have removed all the malware, viruses, trojans, etc.

Hit the start button.
Go to run...
Type in regedit
When the Registry Editor program starts, click on Edit at the top, click on Find...
Type in "Virus Alert!" without the quotes
One of the places it should find it is sTimeFormat
Right click on sTimeFormat
Click on Modify
Under Value Data: enter "h:mm:ss tt" without the quotes of course
Click on OK
Hit F3 to find any more instances of Virus Alert! and erase them
Restart your computer


Worked for me. Hope it helps

Thanks forallgoo, but this thread is two years old and I doubt the OP is coming back .

I posted this info because my wife's computer was infected 5-26-08. It took me several hours to restore it. All of the programs that I used to fix it did not repair the little clock glitch. I guess the clock thing is technically not even a virus, but it was very annoying.

I also had the "VIRUS ALERT!" issue and solved it only by making the changes to the Registry mentioned above
BUT
does anyone know what virus/malaware causes this? There may be other effects that we haven't discovered yet.
