Scam website, but it looks so official

I just looked at it. You're right, someone dedicated quite some time to just screwing up other people's computers.

 

What does the virus do, specifically?

Well, you might not call it a virus, but if you install the FLV player thing, it annoyingly changes all your browser's home page to one of their one's, and its impossible to change it back. I mean impossible. Each time I set it to what I want, it resets each time I load it. This happens to IE and Firefox, but no to Google Crome.

That sound like a redirect. My dad got one last month, and spent a week trying to get rid of it, since it redirected him away from any pages showing you how to get rid of them.

I've also found another feature of the virus. Fake Norton Security windows pop-up and pretend to scan your system and then say "You have 121 infected items". All the items are not infected, and if you do clear it, lots of your programs will be deleted. This didn't fool me, I don't even have Norton Anti-virus!
