    That's what you get if you download illegal software, and this is not the place to get support for it.

    You can get OpenOffice for free, or the Office 2010 beta (free until October).

    Try downloading an anti-spyware program such as ad-aware and then run a scan to find the nasties! :)

    Dont bother with AD AWARE, its next to useless these days

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    UPDATE and FULL scan
    Post the log here after its deleted everything

    Download HIJACK THIS (Click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    reboot
    SCAN and post the log so we can see whats running :)

    but still, the OP (and the other people who downloaded it) shouldn't have it if its just for MS techies.
