Although you started off with the right URL it is obvious that you got yourself (well, your browser actually) "jacked" to a scam site.

Let me explain, the LW org. only offers LW Basic (for free) and LW Pro for $18.88 (US Dollars), which work out at something less than £14.00 (UK Pounds), and for that you get for that is 6 months worth of free updates/upgrades and 6 months technical support. The LW Org. does not sell the following crap you got, i.e.
Quote:
Membership type:Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access for a total of 17.88 ? GBP
Pro Version for a total of 8.97 ? GBP
Download Protection for a total of 6.97 ? GBP
NetSpyProtector Option - Protect yourself from malware for a total of 11.88 ? GBP

Grand total: 45.7 ? GBP
Unfortunately, you are not the first (nor will you be the last) victim to get hi-jacked away from a legitamate site and transported to a scam site that does nothing but rip you off.

So, what do you do now?

1) Contact your credit card company and explain that you are the victim of a fraud, your browser was hi-jacked away from a legitamate site and dumped into to a site, without you knowing, which has been specifically designed to extract money from internet novices.

As most CC cards have an anti-fraud policy then you should be able to get your money back.

2) Your browser has been compromised, meaning that there some miscreant site has planted a re-direct into your browser and the only way to get it out is to run some anti-spyware apps, like the following:

Ad-ware SE - Well respected free ad and spyware remover.

Spybot - Another well respected free ad and spyware remover and most people, including myself, recommend that you download both apps and use them one after the other.

AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 - Protects your PC from and removes anti-spyware and anti-malware, good product and has a free trial period but ultimately is not free.


Good luck
