How to FREE remove Security Shield 2011 virus?

I have the green version of the Security Shield virus/malware. I downloaded PC Tools Spy Doctor after reading a lot about it, only to find out after 2 hours of dowloading it and updating it, that you have yo pay for the service. (Yes, killavirus.com is really just a scam too).

Anyways, is there a way I can remove this virus for free. I don't have a lot of computer savyness, but if there is anything you know (for sure), please help me!

    the suitable anti-virus is Kaspersky or Norton yet they are actually not loose. Kaspersky does supply a loose on line test even nonetheless it does not eliminate what it nicely-knownshows. 2d suitable loose are Avast and AVG and others. The Microsoft firewall that comes loose with XP and Vista is extremely good yet regrettably factors no visibility. in case you % visibility, try the loose Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm is amazingly good even nonetheless that's puzzling for me to declare this is the suitable. the suitable firewalls are actually not loose. you have phishing filters in Firefox 3 and IE 7 and IE 8 (clever show screen clear out) and AVG. this is strictly a question of ways regularly the phishing clear out database gets as much as date with precise advice. this is complicated to declare it is sweet.
