What if you downloaded the spyware stuff they offered will the lappy be fcuked?

I would do a scan pronto mate, XoftSpySE is good.

I would guess this was the 'fake' virus scanner, it looks like something windows would do, even has windows replica pop-up boxes...

There was a fake antivirus message so it seems that is what you saw and you should be OK.

When did that happen to you? Now or a little while ago?

press f8 when rebooting your machine, until a text menu comes up. choose 'start with last known good configuration' and try to get it running from there.

if that doesnt work, you can try starting in safe more, also available from the same menu,
