Hi

Everyone has given you some very valuable advice allready, I would just add that you read or bookmark this site when looking for "freeware/shareware apps as it will let you know if it is legit or not.

Rogue Applications

Also for steps on protecting your PC How to limit the damage

Lastly get Firefox you wont regret it.

yeah, a useful link that dalek posted! i'd definately reccomend you go there if you want to further look for anymore since you must also be precautious. i must also add in that on that list it shows another program called SpyDefense as a rogue antispyware, but that is actually different then the one i posted (Created by everestlabs). so if you google spydefense make sure you go to everest lab's site instead of any other ones or else you could be in for a nasty surprise
