How to remove Antivirus Soft (Uninstall instructions) | My Anti Spyware Follow these instructions. They work 100%
If you want the easy way then buy Spyware Doctor from pctools.com (about $30.00 I think) and that should clear it out.

Those instructions should work, but be very careful with Hijack this.. Only delete the files listed in the instructions and nothing else..

Hijack this is a great tool, but it doesn't give you a chance to restore anything you delete.. It is not for the novice user so be careful..

Update: Problem solved. I did the malwarebytes thing. What I had was called "rogue adware." The thing I don't understand is that my friend had it and I got a copy of what I use, webroot essentials. It cleaned his computer with 2 sweeps. He tried to use the malware before that and it would not let him run it. With mine the webroot would not get it all but I was able to run the malware.

Anyway the problem is solved. I was trying to use my 10 year old laptop to connect here, but it has windows 98 and shuts down every few minutes. It made it hard but I knew the gurus at FTE would have a fix.

Thanks for all the help.
