Sorry but you've been scammed. First thing you have to do is contact your CC company & cancel the transaction. There's usually a department that deals with scams/fraud. There's a lot of info & advice here

I wouldn't put much faith in the codec pack & definitely not in the spyware protection. Spybot is a good, free program. Google it It's up to you whether you want to keep using the basic LW that you have. I wouldn't, it may not be a clean version. You can download the latest basic from the site I gave you earlier. Try it out, see if you like it & then later on you can decide if you'd like to upgrade to Pro. There's really no point in going straight to Pro, best to sort out any teething problems with the free version first

Hope you get this all sorted out

thanks mate!
