I like Spy Sweeper
What accounts for the popularity of CCleaner in the poll, other than the fact that it is free (as are some others)?
By the way, for those who have this problem, I noted back in post #8 on this thread that in my system Spyware Doctor's Computer Immunization...
About your second question, I don't know that much about it, but are you running any other software that might be blocking SB's actions? When...
Well, I would post on PC Tools' Forum (http://www.pctools.com/forum/), but I uninstalled Spyware Doctor, mostly because I believe it was causing...
It was fairly clear to me that my problem was attributable to the same version of Spyware Doctor you are now running, namely 5.0.5.259. I...
Well, this is pretty interesting. Two first-time posters on Wilders with the same problem. I wonder how each of you found the forum? Google...
I was using an earlier version, 5.0.5.259 when I discovered this issue. I haven't installed SD 5.1, and am planning on holding off indefinitely....
If you are using Task Manager, you might consider downloading the freebie Process Explorer :...
Well, there's more than one type of throne.

Well, Spy Sweeper is not the cause of these 12 items being repeatedly unchecked in SpywareBlaster. I uninstalled SS, rebooted, enabled all...
