Did you see the Speilberg series "Taken" that was on TV not so long ago, well Sam you have been "Taken" for a ride by a scam site.

LW Basic is free and LW Pro cost $18.88, which is under £10.00 at the current exchange rate, and for that you get 6 months worth of upgrades/updates. Netspyprotector is probably a bogus spyware app, the movie codec is free and the lifetime unlimited access does not exist.

Sam, you should contact your credit card company and tell them you have just been conned out of your money, since most UK CCs have anti-fraud protection, you should be able to get your money back without too much trouble.

Also, it might be a good idea to cancel your CC and get a new one, this will stop the scam site charging you a monthly fee for fictitious purchases or belonging to the non-existent lifetime club.

Finally, I would suggest that you delete the LW you got from the scam site, which may or may not contain malware (viruses, spyware, etc) and redownload from the proper site where LW Pro is also available:
