Digital river is an ecommerce payment company. They don't fraudulently take your money. They partner with companies like Samsung, Microsoft, razr, McAfee, avast, etc. If you buy from those websites, your charge may show up as from digital river. They also handle subscriptions. A lot of times what happens is people accept a free trial for a product, like anti virus, and forget to cancel and it auto renews. Be careful what you are accepting.
Check if you had a subscription set up...
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments''.

Yep and most find out they have taken anti virus products or similar subscriptions out in the past and digital river have been processing their authorised payments fro them.

If you mistakenly take out a subscription with an anti virus company for their product then yes they will bill you yearly until you cancel it.
BUT you have to cancel it ON your paypal account as well or paypal will keep passing on the funds as the subscription would be live in your preapproved payments.
You need to cancel it in there.
Don't blame paypal as they legally have to send the funds if its active in your subscriptions as that is what you have asked them to do when you took that subscription out.
And no they can't 'get it back for you afterwards' that would be between you and the company that you paid to sort out.
