Affiliate Marketing Secrets

A Windows Microsoft company gave me a call and suggested to help me remove malicious files on my PC. I was vigilant at first but as they claimed to be affiliated with Microsoft i of couse said why not, I can always hang up if something’s fishy.
I’d never gotten a call from Microsoft, at least not that i’m aware of but i don’t know, anyway. The directed me to www.windowspcsecurity.com (safe?) and had me Connect to Tech Support; I wasn’t too sure what it meant but it gave them access to my computer and with that they explained the sources to certain problems on my PC and such.
Come the end they referred me to their website onestopplus which i KNOW has a bad reputation, i had No idea this was their intention and after seeing the prices i passed.
I shut down my computer and now i’m wondering if thats enough to revoke their access to my computer?

When I’m watching tech videos, most of the larger channels always say: “This video was brought to you by/sponsored by blah blah blah. Check out www.blahblahblah/channel name.” Does this mean that they are being paid, or does it mean they are part of the affiliate program? How much do they get paid?

Hello, I run a technology niche blog which received around 1000 hits a day. The blog was started on 17th May 2011, i.e its 56 days old. Is my blog doing fine, good, bad ? I know this is a lame question. But just need to study some statistics. Here is my blog link:

I am very much a beginner when it comes to web design and it leaves me frustrated and tired. So I need a good, affordable hosting company that has a free sitebuilder that is EASY and allows adsense ads.
I found hostgators sitebuilder to be a complete headache, i constantly ran in to errors and even tech support was having a hard time with some of it.
Any (REAL) suggestions (please no affiliates).
THANKS in advance!!
