Angry WARNING - virus?

You may have noticed that a certian user apparently has a copy of every piece of software in existence. The files are always around 156KB and titled the software title plus 'Direct downloader'. When i downloaded and installed one of these it opened a porn site with a drop dial software system. Now every time i open my browser the same pop up appears.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so any ideas how to disable it.

The best way to check if you are about to download one of these dodgy files is to 'browse the host' if a massive list of all the best software appears and the files are all about 156kb avoid it.
