What should I do?

Sorry to be a pain again!
Instead of attempting to remove the software I am considering paying up. I was convinced Get Films Now was free and must have signed up.
I read the terms and conditions on their website, which is part of Platte International or whatever, and think I am liable to pay.
I do not want the bill to mount up it is currently only £29.99. According to the terms they can charge a sum of £500 for breaches of contract.
What the hell should I do! I do not want to provide a rogue company with my credit card details.
Plus, I am not computer literate at all and will have trouble with the suggested methods of removal. For instance, where is system32?
Sorry again for persistent posting to the administrators, I admire what you are all doing and thankyou.

Some people pay by postal order. I think you'll need to send it with whatever reference they've provided on the pop up - but think carefully over how you want them to provide their uninstaller.
