Don't jump to conclusions, first I'd run a virus scanner, buying a program for 60 bucks is not advisable, certainly if you're not sure what you're buying. If a virus scanner reports nothing, try running CCleaner, it might be a registry error. Here's the link for CCleaner, trust me it's safe. http://www.piriform.com/
