I think it might have links to the "Blackworm" virus and appears to go after the Mozilla/Firefox browser. Behavior manifests itself in:

1. Refusing to allow your desktop icons to load
2. Killing you with popups ending with the web address extention "yyy65" or even "yyy102."

The fix (amidst the dialogue) can be found in the link below:

NOTE: Follow the steps carefully even though I think the fix is actually done in the initial steps while the remaining instructions are more precautionary.
