I was online and I accidentally added MS Antivirus thing…and I don’t know how to completely delete it off of my computer. It’s been driving me crazy. I have papers to write and homework to work on and it keeps popping up… I can’t simply click X to close it. It’s like they’re trying to force me to actually buy it…and I have virus protection already.
HELP.

Run anti-spyware. No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using at least 2 different programs. Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best. I also recommend SUPERAntiSpyware. Other free anti-spyware programs would be Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.
I strongly recommend using FireFox, it’s a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.

If the answer above does not help go to control panel click on performance and maintenance and in the upper left of your screen you can do a system restore. Then just do a restore to a time before you got the problem.
NOTE: this does not always work, but it's worth a try.
PS: this is on windows XP.
