Anti-virus problem

It's okay, I Googled all 3 dll files and got that information so left them be and installed a registered Kapersky 7 after creating a back-up. Everything running better; also Googled virtumonde.dll and an outfit by the name of 'Spy Hunter' informed me they were up to the job of blasting it, done a scan, didn't find it but found 3 zlob Trojans and 14 other nasty files and will remove them if I registered and paid them money.
Problem I've noticed here is it's hard to tell who the good/bad guys are in regards to Spyware i.e. I was getting a pop-up stating I could have malicious files on my Computer, click here etc. this was taking me to a web-site by the name of 'storage protector' which turns out to be a nasty site

So some of these so called Spyware companies are actually infecting instead of fixing, how evil is that ?
