Is it a work computer that is normally used for work? Have you visited any sites (directly) that you were not supposed to.
Typically companies won't hold you responsible for the pages that these "scareware" bring up.
Most likely (the way that I do it), they will just reload all of the software on the machine from scratch.
Depending on the level of security in place on your machine, and the OS that is loaded; it could make cleaning this up yourself very difficult.
