Thank You! I had no idea until yesterday that my Dell PC was infected, inspite of other Security systems.
Thank you very much, this was recommended by a very large company.
is there a need to have Avast and this product
You do not need Avast if you have another anti-spyware product.
Having two or more anti-spyware products will just slow down your computer, without any major benefits.

I am attemting to download Spybot but, the intruder I have been infected with is preventing me. each time I try I get a pop-up on my screen stops whatever I’m doing, even writing this is being interupted, this stops me typing until I remove the pop-up. The same when I try to use Outlook Express. The intruder’s name is, ‘Security Shield Can eny one Help me to kill this spyware, Charlie
I would recommend you download and try Spyware Doctor from this web page. The scan of your computer is 100% free, and works much better than Spybot software.

I want to uninstall firefox but it won’t uninstall, will spybot help me uninstall firefox?
Spybot will not uninstall any legitimate programs.
Here are the uninstall instructions for firefox, in case you need it:

is this any good for web search hacking? Whatever it is that’s on my computer has killed my current antivirus program and redirects all my internet searches.
What anti-virus program did you use on your computer?!
An anti-virus program has as it prime functions to prevent any covert redirection of internet searches.
-Nils (admin)
As for Klabe81, as of today i can’t use the internet properly . It started with being redirected in Firefox and was kind of ok in IE8. Now Firefox is sort of ok and IE8 pages just stay blank…
Am using AVG 8 but the thing killed it. Had difficulties removing it.
I can’t install anything (tried to install AVG9 + other stuff). Am getting plenty of installer issues now.
Stinger has found W32/Katusha , Artemis! , FakeAlert-Rena and Downloader-BCS in many places.
1) You should restart your computer in SAFE mode with internet support. You can watch our video on how to do it on this web site.
2) Then re-install your anti-spyware software – for example AVG, Spyware Doctor (recommended) or whatever you are feel works the best for you.
Let me know how you go.

Years ago I was told that there should only be one anti-virus program loaded on my computer. I’m currently running avast!. Do you recommend one virus protection?
Yes, only use one anti-virus program – otherwise your computer will slow down without additional benefits.
-Nils (admin)
I purchased McAfee on line to check for viruses but since then, my computer is so-o-o-o slow I can hardly use it. I’m 80 years old and need some serious, easy to follow instructions or I’m going to have to pack it in I’m afraid.
MacAfee is known to make your computer slow, and I would strongly suggest to uninstall MacAfee and use a different anti-spyware software.
-Nils (admin)
Hey just want to know if i can run online the spyware doctor and not the anti-virus as i got norton anti virus Version 18.6.0.29
If you have Norton AV you should not install another anti-spyware, as this will just slow down your computer – without additional protection.
One anti-spyware software is enough.
-Nils (admin)
i can’t open the installation exe… comes up gobbledegook. reason? my computer is an apple. is it the wrong program?
This software is for Windows PCs only.
-Nils (admin)
My computer has AVG and a “cloud…. program” installed itself and prevented me from doing anything;including running AVG. Running in safe mode I was able to restore and get onto my account. I was told to install spybot. I just did this and then read the reviews about NOT having more then one anti virus program. I should uninstall AVG now that I have installed spybot-doctor?
Install only need to install one anti-spyware software.
The reason is all the big anti-spyware vendor pretty much do the same things, and installing more than one anti-spyware software will slow down your computer.
-Nils (admin)
I am trying to run Spybot & combofix, I can enter the sites but, when I try to run either of the programs, a report pops up, saying connect to the Internet, or you need a interent connection to run this program, I am connected but can’t use either. do you have any suggestions ?
Yes, just reboot your computer in SAFE mode (see video on this web site).
After rebooting your computer in SAFE mode with internet, then just re-run your anti-spyware programs.
-Nils (admin)
So just to be clear once I install Spyboot I do not have to download any other anti virus.
Installing more than one anti-virus product will slow down your computer, without adding further protection. Just choose one anti-virus product and relax.
I am biased in favor of Spyware Doctor (which is what I personally use), but you might like to use AVG, Spybot or some other similar software. They are also good. However, Spyware doctor has the best ratings overall, from other web sites and independent test reports.
-Nils (admin)
U mention to have only 1 anti-virus…what about anti-spyware software? are the same?…i have kaspersky on my pc….do i need an anti-spyware or kaspersky will do the job?thx
Anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware software are now generally used to mean the same thing.
A few years ago, people used to talk about the differences between virus, spyware, adware, trojans, malware etc, but now it is typically just called malware or spyware. AVG, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, Kaspersky etc generally do the same thing, although a couple of anti-spyware tools to a better job than others.
-Nils (admin)
in the past i had spybot in addition to my mcafee… after reading the above comments I guess that is no longer necessary. So if I have a current and active mcafee subscription, there is no need to download spydoctor?
That is correct.
-Nils (admin)
I hope my pc will run a little better now, may I thank you for your help.
After reading all your comments I to want to better know for my purposes. I have System Mechanic and Zonealarm internet security suite. With these 2 products I should be covered and not need Spybot Doctor. Is that correct.
Will Spy doctor remove “Privacy Protection’ a very nasty spyware…need to be able to download to a USB as unable to acess internet explorer to download or syconfig to delete files
i somehow got a trojan and a worm in my computer, and one or both of these things will not allow me to download any anti-virus program once i save it to my computer. can i get around this, so i can rid these viruses from my computer using spybot?
I would first try restarting your computer in SAFE MODE with networking. Then try to install and run the anti-virus program.
Here is a video on how to it:

Let me know how it goes.
-Nils (admin)
I am currently using Kespersky, but with that & SPYBOT my systen is slow when in internet.
If you can tell me Spybot is every thing & more than the others I would like to eliminate one of these. Right now I cannot manuver in my administrator
Do not install more than one anti-spyware software – otherwise your computer will slow down and grind to a halt. Here is a list of the top anti-malware software, as rated by CNet:

Many thanks
Please restart your computer in SAFE mode with networking. Here is a short video on how to do it:

Please note that Spyware Doctor requires internet connection to install the itself – even if you have copied the install program to the flash drive. When you restart your computer in SAFE mode, please ensure to select SAFE mode with networking (on of the options during the restarting of the computer).

Hi I have one problem when i open web site and try to open google page its redirecting me to some other page i am not really happy with that some times its diverts to yellow pages some times its go to miveo player i dont know what should i do know how ca i remove that crap from my Internet explorer and Mozilla fire forx.
You should download the free Spyware Doctor and do a full scan of your computer. This will tell you if you have any adware (diverting to other pages) or spyware on your computer. The scan is totally free.
-Nils (admin)
Im trying to install spybot but it give me an “The server returned an error response: 403 = Forbidden aborting”
What should I do now?
You should restart your computer in SAFE mode with internet network. We have a video on this site on how to do this.
After restarting the computer in SAFE mode, just install the anti-spyware software as normal and run a full scan of the computer.
-Nils (admin)
I use spyware doctor with antivirus right now and also system mechanic to keep my computer running fast but i dont think its really running fast. should i just use spyware doctor and uninstall system mechanic?
System mechanic does not find spyware or other computer infections. You should use Spyware Doctor to protect your computer against computer infections that can cause malfunctions – and this has little to do with computer performance or slowdown.
You should use System Mechanic to clean your Windows REGISTRY file, which is the most important file on your computer. This optimization of the REGISTRY file will improve performance, but it also depends on how old your computer, how many times you have installed and deleted software on your computer and several other factors.
If you have to choose between Spyware Doctor and System Mechanic, the clear choice is Spyware Doctor – but this software does not improve performance; it simply protects your computer against future malware attacks.
I hope this helps.
