Just to clear it up, the viruses that are being warned about need to be downloaded. You can't pick them up just through 'scrolling through skins'. At some point you clicked on something and/or downloaded something that infected your computer. And, to be clear, you can't get a virus from downloading skins on this website.

One of the Viruses is strtd.exe, it disguises as windows media center, It's really nasty, it glues itself to your registry and just constantly downloads files.

As a word of advice, If something looks too good to be true, It probably is.
