Answer 2

purchased drantispy commercial version paid online credit card inform credit card

Answer 3

yes contact your CC company and tell them that its a fraudulant website.

Dr.AntiSpy is a clone of rogue anti-spyware programs such as PestTrap and SpySheriff. Once installed, Dr.AntiSpy will pop up false messages on your system tray that look similar to Microsoft notifications. Dr.AntiSpy's fake messages are used as deceptive tactics to lure you into purchasing its full commercial version. Many users claim that Dr.Antispy is very difficult to uninstall manually because it doesn't have a built-in uninstallation utility and tends to recreate itself instantly after reboot.

To remove it from your PC, scan your PC with this, its free and safe to use.

Anti - Spyware Scanners
There are several Anti-Spyware Scanners out
there and some can be mis-leading and some are
what are called Rogue Anti-Spyware Programs.
Most of the time, users, don't know which ones
are good and which ones are bad.

Most of these that are bad usually charge or try
to get the user to pay for that product. Also,
some of these products will show a screen (nag)
to the user when their machine is booted up and
on the desktop.

Answer 5

I think you probably made a bad choice of anti spy software....

http://www.spywareremove.com/removeDrAntiSpy.html

Any of the following would be better choices....

Spy Sweeper 5.5 with Antivirus
• Spy Sweeper 5.2 with Antivirus
• Norton Internet Security 2007
• Spyware Doctor 4.0

Answer 6

yes. please do so immediately. virus warnings, adult content and other pop-ups are mere "invitation" to give out personal credit card details. it is a SCAM as they may not even be a legit company. buy online from credible businesses only.
