I purchased on line PC Anti spyware 2010 in for amount of $91.45 (US dollars). Installed product and my computer (Dell, Wondows XP) experienced excessive ad pop-ups, slowed to a crawl and shut it down. I was literally unable to restart. Took computer to Best Buy Geeg Squad. They had difficuly starting it and after an hour of diagnosis said the problem was adware, spywear and monitering viruses. This product which was advertised to eliminate spyware; it did not! And, I believe it installed the adware because I had no problem with adware prior to installing this product. I was unable to restore my system and had to buy a new computer. I've instructed VISA not to pay this charge and list it as "disputed". Please credit my account. It was charged 8-19-09 in the amount of $91.45 with a transaction fee of $2.74. The VISA transaction codes are 24057579232933555162723 and 24057579232933555162723.
