lodore, If what you say about Spyware Doctor producing different scan results in the paid and free versions is true, and I don't doubt you,...
Thanks for your post. Super Antispyware does seem to be an up and coming AS app. I had WinPatrol for some time but eventually uninstalled...
Thanks fot this correction. I wasn't sure.
Which AS are you referring to, Spyware Doctor? I never had the paid version of SD, just the free, so I cannot comment on my experience in that...
Let me add one additional point about Spyware Doctor. It no longer offers any tech support for unregistered users, i.e those who run the free...
Thanks for the posts. Yes, I did run a full scan with Super Antispyware, and found nothing. About Spyware Doctor, I am going to assume...
A recent full scan with Spyware Doctor found adware CommonName on my machine based on 8 HKCU Registry keys, but I wonder if this is a false...
I have to admit that I am terribly saddened by this acquistion by Microsoft. I can see no good coming of the union for the average computer user...
I recently installed the free version of AVG AS 7.5 in place of ewido 4.0. I never had a problem with updates with ewido, but now when I try to...
Well Cleatus, I am sorry to hear about your difficulties. Hardly an expert myself, I cannot begin to explain what has happened, but in my own...
I tried the same test in 5.0, and my results were a bit more dramatic than that, several minutes difference between the two at least. Who knows...
Hi Chubb, Thanks to you as well. I mucked around trying to get this to work as expected, but obviously was not very successful. I guess 5.2 is...
Hi lodore, Thanks for that tip. Is that an obscure way of doing things or what? That's almost as bad as Windows Defender Beta's way of making...
I notice that it now looks as if rootkit detection is no longer a sweep option in SS 5.2 unless you buy the AV add-on. I don't like that. When you...
By the way, is there a more or less official Spyware Doctor forum similar to Wilders? SD tech support briefly referred me to winguides, which did...
Thanks, Consoleman. I am still left to wonder what the heck Spyware Doctor is doing for 5 minutes. It can't be taking that long to load, and it...
Apparently the fix has been made, as I have done a couple of SS sweeps after updates in the last few days, and IEHelper was not detected. All...
I just got PC Magazine for September 5, 2006. It tested Spy Sweeper 5.0, which scored 4.5 out of 5, and received an Editor's Choice. Spyware...
Well, I'm always open to suggestions if you have any. I'd be glad to have your thoughts. I've had Spy Sweeper since I bought my computer two...
I found out recently that the new Spy Sweeper 5.0 is taking a real long time for scans for some reason. When I first upgraded to 5.0 the scans...
I wasn't sure if there might have been something weird about my download of version 3.8, or perhaps some malware well hidden within. Form what I...
Hi Bubba, Let me ask an unrelated follow-up about Spyware Doctor, since you seem to know the application well. Others of course can reply as...
Hi Bubba, Kudos to you, I must say. Yes, I do run the free version of Spyware Doctor, which offers live protection but not the ability to...
I rarely find any malware on my computer, so I was surprised when a Spy Sweeper scan allegedly found the adware program 'ie helper' today. The...
I use Verizon DSL, which comes with MSN Premium. Quite a few times I have gotten this window stating "MSN has encountered a problem and needs to...
