both email and Internet propagate the scam, but a typical workflow is when Infostealer trojan is downloaded by user as he takes it for another program or data that he is looking for.
I am not confident of manual removal of Infostealer because it is a promptly changing rogue, but Spyware Doctor rules and I subscribe to the tip to use it for Infostealer removal
