I REALLY hope someone can help.
I foolishly downloaded what I thought was a security programme called Security Suite.
It now seems its a virus that fools your computer into thinking its infected or being attacked so you go & buy the (very expensive) software from Security Suite.
Ive got Mcafee so im sure my laptop is protected- but it doesnt pick up security suite as a virus. I wasnt it off my laptop as it is now preventing me from accesssing all manner of applications. It wont let me go to 'add & remove software' from the control panel- its obviously protecting itself... I downloaded a programme called spyware doctor that said it would get rid, but the security suite virus wont let me open that programme as it says its infected!! I got loadds of work to get done & im getting mad.. please help!!!

"but it doesnt pick up security suite as a virus"

It won't do. The software asked if you wanted to download it and you agreed. It did nothing underhand spsart from fooling you into downloading it. Anti-virus cannot protect against user's decisions.
