I have in the past received emails from "ebay" asking for credit card info, etc., and have always just deleted them. Now, I think some other type of program has infected my computer, and they are trying to get more info. When I try to log on my ebay account, I get the following message(with the ebay logo in the top left corner):

I'll be damned if I am going to give them personal info like that. I sent a copy of the web address and that page to
[email protected].
Obviously, I need to clean up my computer. I tried to download the Microsoft beta version of Defender, but after installing, received a message that my processor was not compatible.
What is the best program or software to purchase for cleaning up the spyware, adware, worms etc. from my computer?
Thanks for any help.
