use your control panel to uninstall whatever you downloaded!

Ok, first of all that is more than likely a virus because some of the files are hidden. I highly recommend you delete it right now as you read my comment. Also never download stuff from other sites that promise you that you'll get a program (only download from the sponsored/creator of the program)

1)firstly, the icon on your desktop, try to locate it and delete its files. not just the icon. if they say you cant delete it cuz its being used, follow step 2.

2)Secondly, go to your task manager (right click the bottom bar and select task manager) then look at processes. This are the current processes running on your computer. This part may be really confusing if your not sure what your doing, but this shows you everything running on your computer.

With the process tab open, look for the files that you just deleted in step 1, or anything related to step one and end process.

3) download microsoft security essentials. So it doesnt happen again
