Hi All Antivirus claim their product, You get lots of Free / Paid antiviuses in the world which will only clean, delete only the known viruses and Some antiviruses dont even delete or can perform if the threat is more than 90% !! This all for the known viruses and the strength of virus.

what are you going to do for the unknown viruses ?
The Antivirus technologies like Signature Based is 18 years old technology and Heuristic Based technologies is like 8 years old Technology !!!

What is virus ?
Its just a piece of a code which can penetrate worms and harm to your computer.

How is Virus Defined and Identified ?
Only after affecting 10,000 + computers, we know that the piece of code is a virus Right ???

the sample code is taken to a lab by a signature based antivirus companies to fix a patch and want to update it with the signature database. Only then any signature based antiviruses identify a virus.. :)

spyware--------- it won't detect newest threats if you havent update it.Uninstalling Spyware Doctor may already improve system speed.

Please don't worry about tracking cookies. You'll always get them and they will always return. This just depends what sites you visit.
Everyone has them. They are even present on the MSN startpage, Yahoo startpage...

If you want to manage your cookies you can use next programs:

For Internet explorer: CookieWall

For Firefox: CookieSafe

Keep in mind that you're not supposed to block every cookie, because some cookies are required.
Most people don't use an additional cookie manager, because it may be annoying in some cases to manually filter all cookies in the beginning, so they clean their cookies once in a while via the "clean cookies" option in their browser settings.

Rogue/Suspect" means that these products are of unknown,

use unfair, deceptive, high pressure sales tactics to scare up sales from gullible, confused users
use onlly trustworthy anti irus programmes.



if your computer is genuine you can norton for some time for trojon.

most important is please update your spyware doctor which will help in rectifying things.

While rebooting your computer try to press F8 repeatly until it come up with a menu. Choose the "Safe Mode" and wait until your computer come up with the desktop screen (which will look a bit different from the normal one). Run Spyware Doctor from there, you can get rid all of them.

Those viruses are loading themselve into the memory each time during startup. When you use Spyware Doctor, the viruses in the drive are destroyed but the one in memory still be safe. Booting in Safe Mode helps preventing the virus to be loaded. When you use Spyware Doctor this time can kill all of them.

Just reboot your computer after you have done this.

Go here

And then invest in some good virus protection.
Actually you may not even have any of those things. Spyware Doctor lies a lot in an attempt to get you to buy their product,which is not very good by the way.
I stay connected 24/7 do large amounts of downloading and haven't had a single problem with viruses. All because I have good protection.
Heck I can even download a known virus and it still would not be able to infect my pc.

Get rid of Spyware Doctor!!! I know I had it and it's bad!

Use Adaware SE, but run it in safe mode. (Someone above explained how by using F8).... you can safely download from download.com (tech TV recommended website)....

Also, if you don't have it, get the McAfee Siteadvisor. It's free and it shows what websites are bad. I wouldn't surf without it.

you do not have any virus

these are only spywares...they are somewhat harmless:P

what they do is to track your web activity and send it somewhere else onnet ..they might send your personal number or credit information too , it they can find ittt....

after running spywrae doctor , delete these spywares.(there should be an option to do this)

alos you can run , ad aware , a free anti spyware to delete them :http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

run anti spyware once a week and be happy :)

you have downloaded a virus that probably advertises a virus protection center. your system tray may have something new in it. go to add or remove programs look for something out of the ordinary. or just buy Norton it will quarantine all of it for you then just delete it

ON E-MAILS IF YOU HAVE XP ,THAT IS HOW YOU GET A VIRUS THAT IS WHY I HAVE MAC. ALL BACK DOORS ARE FOR XP. IF YOU WATCH PORN YOU WILL BE INFECTED, DO NOT CLICK SCAN COMP. IT IS JUST A POP-UP REMEMBER, YOU NEED TO BACK UP FILES AND DO SYSTEM RESTORE, MICROSOFT CAN HELP YOU.
