Doctor Alex

Hello i would like to ask opinions about this Doctor Alex program http://download.cnet.com/Doctor-Alex/3000-8022_4-10383188.html

 

Didn't seem to do too well against a coupla rogues?

 

It looks like a rogue app itself, imho. I'm seeing very little on it when searching for reviews and what I do find isn't finding this app very good, with some saying it itself is full of malware.

 

a rouge in download.com

 

This program has been around for a while. I remember seeing it in a few independent reviews soon after XP came out. The program is awful, probably the worst antispyware antimalware app available IMO. But its not a rogue

 

What else did you expect from it? It has been discontinued since 2005

Yeah it was once listed on spywarewarrior but was later de-listed.

What do i do then. I allready installed it in my computer... It wound bitfrost...

Am i now infected with some rogue application? What should i do to get rid of it?

 

Since the program was de-listed on spywarewarrior I think it's no longer a rogue. Moreover the detected threat (bitfrost) actually does exist, many security products classify it as a backdoor/trojan.

More info about BitFrost:

I recommend SpywareDoctor Starter Edition (from GooglePack) or SUPERAntispyware FREE Edition for free spyware removal.

 

Maybe i try the spywaredoctor. Doctor Alex detected only the registry key. I wonder where it came from...

 

It looks a registry key created/used by another program?

Ever used Wget? As such when detected like this alone/considering the age of the program that detected it, I'd be labeling it as false positive.
