After running Spyware Doctor you will still need to remove stubborn malware. If you know the location of these threats you can eliminate them by opening a Command Prompt window. Start Button/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt. type: del and then a space, then drag and drop the infected folder into the Command Prompt window and hit enter. This will immediately delete the unwanted file, it will not go into the recycle bin. This method is more effective than even the best AntiVirus or Spyware protection and is a little known hack by professional ITservicemen. You can get a trial of the Starter Edition of Spyware Doctor at the site listed at the bottom of the page in Google Pack and good luck. <br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ First you do need a good spyware program, Spyware Doctor is probably the best application for removing adware, spyware and even trojans and worms.

No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using at least 2 different programs. Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best. I also recommend SUPERAntiSpyware. Other free anti-spyware programs would be Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster. If you do not have an updated anti-virus program always running, you need to get one. Install only one, but you can get AVG, Avast! or AntiVir for free. Running these programs in Safe Mode (tap F8 as the computer boots up and choose to boot to safe mode) can be more effective. I strongly recommend using FireFox, it's a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.safer-networking.org/en/ http://www.superantispyware.com/ http://www.getfirefox.com http://www.ccleaner.com You will need to scan your computer with anti-malware applications.
