I also need to get rid of this anoying spyware doctor and it's not letting me get rid of it in my control center add and remove programs. My computer is acting crazy! I need help! Thanks

  • Answer:

    Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature. Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php Make sure spyware doctor is not running when you try to remove it through Add and Remove programs. If it still won't un-install go to Start>My Computer>Local Disk C>Program Files> now find spyware doctor and delete the folder. Then run a registry cleaner. I use... Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048 Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.

Boot up in safe mode, start hitting F8 as soon as the windows screen appears and then try to delete it. then do a manual search, start>search files>type in the name when the box pops up and delete anything with the name that pops up. Then get ccleaner to clean up your registry. Good Luck!
