How do I remove AntiVirus 2008?

Question

Somehow it got downloaded on to my computer and it's really annoying! It's obviously not an actual Virus scanner...and it keeps promting me to purchase, which I will not. I believe it is spyware and is constantly opening windowing that are difficult to close. I don't want to purchase a spyware remover (SpyDoctor, StopZilla, etc.) How can I remove this!?
