I know I probaly half to go to settings? or Control paneling? am I right? any assitance will be apprciated, I can't afford to paid a computer person to come out, ~~Thanks Marcie~~

I read somewhere that it's not easy to uninstall this kind of program. You can't uninstall it the way you uninstall other unwanted programs. I hope that previous responders' suggestions can help, or else you will have to reformat your PC completely or get a new one.
