adware / malware concerning asknet ultraheal

I was recently scammed into paying for adware/malware removal services/tools on my home computer. I turned my computer on and right away saw a alert/flashing thing on my screen that my computer was severely infected and for me to call "them" at Microsoft at the number on my screen. I turned my computer off and on several times thinking it was bogus and it wouldn't clear off my screen. So I called the number and was put through a long series of steps by the "tech" and actually was stupid enough to allow him onscreen access to my computer. He cleared all my Stuff infecting my computer (supposedly) and then conned me into making a purchase for the software to keep my computer clean saying that if i didn't buy it, my computer would go down again in minutes. So I opened a Paypal Credit Account and authorized the payment for the software.  A couple of weeks later I was discussing this transaction with a friend and He told me I was scammed. My 1st payment to my Paypal Credit account was due 2 days ago and i want to cancel out the whole transaction because i was scammed into doing this and evidently from reading info on the internet have found I'm not the 1st one to go thru this.  I have had the programs "they" remotely installed on my computer removed and do not use their "product".  What do I do? Any help would be appreciated.
