can't uninstall program

Hi,

I installed this program so I could watch the Olympics live
but it turned out to be a program that promotes antivirus-08,

something is stopping it from uninstalling, I found the specific folder
it is in, when I try and delete the folder it can says access denied,

what if I opened the folder and deleted each component, there is a database file,
should I delete that,

also on my desktop it says Warning spyware detected on your computer,
I know this is not true, they just want me to by their product.

How do I get rid of this.

Thanks,

Jeremy

    If using widows try a system restore to before you installed the spy-ware software.
    It may or may not work but it's a try..

          Jeremy, the exact same thing happened to me a few days ago. You do have marlware on your system. What I did to fix the problem, was to download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti Malware. That program removed the malware and alot more nasties I didn't know about. My computer is now working great without those anoying pop up telling you to buy antivirus.

          Hope that help.

    type in msconfig.exe

    this will open a window with about half a dozen tabs. the last one specifies programs that start up on startup. see if you can find the culprit there, and disable it.

    restart. when you get a message from the configurations that changed, simply choose not to see the message again. the next will ask you if u want to restart again , just say no.

    now try and delete it.
