It sounds like you've been scammed. Sadly when searching the web for anti-spyware software, most of the top pages of search results are full of scams of some sort. Most anti-spyware software that you have to pay for is actually spyware itself, sold by the same shady people making the spyware distributed in the wild. You might want to contact the Better Business Bureau and also chargeback your credit card for a refund if you can't get any help from the company's tech support.

Excellent advice can be found in the article Ten Tips to Preventing Spyware and Spam at http://policedownload.net/report/spyware

Their ten tips:

1. Install Firefox
2. Install Anti-Virus Software
3. Use Anti-Spyware Software Regularly
4. Don't Use Microsoft Outlook
5. Install McAfee SiteAdvisor
6. Use Bugmenot to login to websites
7. Avoid free giveaways and contests
8. Enable Windows Firewall and Automatic Updates
9. Use gaim or Trillian for instant messaging
10. Use Soulseek and uTorrent for file sharing


It's important to note that the only anti-spyware software worth using is FREE. Most anti-spyware software, including software that you have to pay for, is spyware itself! The three worthwhile pieces of free software are Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, and Microsoft Windows Defender.
