They all tell you whats wrong but you have to register and or upgrade to remove what was found. If its and online service the tech will walk you around your pc and then tell you to pay in order to remove.
Its classic Bait and Switch. one even tried to hard sale.
download Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware both are free and very effective, once downloaded install and update both then run quick scans with each, remove anything they find and restart.
Finally install Avast Anti-Virus which is free and run a boot-time scan, it will remove viruses before they have a chance to start and thoroughly disinfect your computer.
You could download the 3 programs below from the computer you are on and take them to your computer then install them that way.
Keep Avast Anti-Virus installed to prevent you getting another virus in the future.
