"Evidence Eliminator" is a scam - one thats's been around for a few years now. They like to use popups, banner adverts mocked up to look like warning dialogues and spam email to incite fear in new or naive Internet users - fear enough to give them money for software that won't offer your computer one iota of protection, simply damp down the fear they themself incited.
The law in many countries considers this to be 'illegal commercial duress'. In one particularly chucklesome legal system, it was even deemed it to be 'blackmail' for a while - sadly, nobody was jailed.
I'd guess they're targetting file-sharers now as people who are likely to be easy marks for their line of trickery. Don't be fooled. You're more likely to actually get $8million from M'Bugu Gatu, the son of a recently deceased african businessman than to benefit from paying any credence to EE's communications.
