Okay is there anybody but me that uses Spyware doctor. I actually really like it and think its better than Ad-Aware but there is like a new update every day or even TWO updates a day. So yeh I update it on a daily base. Like every time after I have turned on my pc spyware doctor is like: “there is a new update”. This honestly really makes me wonder. I mean I doubt there are people coding on that program 24/7 so what the heck?

Hmm, Ad-Aware is much better in my opinion. Spyware Doctor costs money to even delete spyware, and the only reason it finds more then Ad-Aware, or other great alternatives, is it displays MANY false positives. I'd stay away, but your choice.

Edit: It costs a LOT of money, crap!

I highly doubt it installs spyware, 'PC tools' is the maker and they are in cooperation with download.com. If they were ever found to be doing that, both would suffer. Either way, false positives, at least in excess ammounts, is bad.

Nah, I was replying to his "seriously thats what i was thinking as well". I noticed the "(jk)", I was easing his worries.

Hahahahahaha, you are surely joking? I'd say every hacker on the planet, for one.
