And also, how do I make sure that nobody can see what vids I downloaded after I delete them?

I did one of the free ones, and I have norton, neither showed anything, the alert came from the internet, I think If I said yes delete those files I would have been infected, but looks like I'm good now.
Thanks Everybody!

Get rid of the spyware causing the message to pop-up....
Use Ad-Aware SE or Spybot Search and Destroy....
Then....Stop using Internet Explorer...and Use Mozilla Firefox....
Now that we have summed that all up....
Create Different User accounts and lock yours....and Hide the files...

Use these scans to clean up your PC. Both are free and safe to use.
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.
