Help! Please! Stupid Spyware...something happened? What am I supposed to do?

Question

I was looking for an online site to watch a movie on, and then this pop up came up, and I knew it was a bad popup and it was going to do something to my computer. (lesson learned!!)

I turned off the computer asap. then when I turned it back on, there's this message on my desktop saying:

"Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! Install an anti-virus or

spyware remover to clean your computer."

I don't know where I can find any free places? PLEASE help!
