I can't top it, but I can come close. Was visiting a common news site yesterday. I have pop up on, yadda yadda. This thing minimized my screen, popped up a half-convincing "you have 3 trojans, yadda yadda" I'm like yea right, X. The X brings me to a site, that looks like its installing. I'm like, yea right, X. The install bar goes up by 33% and says its wiped out the first trojan. And I'm like. :O hit alt + f4 a ton of times which closed everything, ran my spyware scanner and nothing was there. So... I can't top yours, but obviously there's a new breed of spyware out there for sure... That’s the most over the top spyware I’ve ever heard. I can’t top it, but I can come close.

If you do not want to pony up the money for a paid copy from Symantec or McAffee I'd recommend AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/). Their free home version is pretty sufficent for most users.
