I just download this too and it said I had 300 viruses so I paid the $40 too. Complete waste of money as it didn't to jack after I paid. To be honest I don't even know if I really have 300 viruses or if the software was just lying to get me to purchase. Avoid this as they don't refund either. They just ignore my emails.

Hello GillyFrost,

Was there a particular reason for installing that program, were you experiencing issues with your computer?

Best regards.
