DO NOT, under any circumstances, download Spyware Doctor ver.5. It will totally hose your computer. And thats for both XP and Vista. It will slow down your comp. to a crawl or freeze it. Forget the internet, locks up every time. The only way to fix it is by deleting it through Safe Mode. It took me quite a while to get my comp. running good again. Be warned!

You'll start getting popups about ver.5. Do yourself a favor and ignore it. The word is they are supposed to fix it in the next week or so. Until they do, dont touch it.

I don't like that software i had v5, and it kept hating me, And used 100 mbs of ram, I switched to ad-watch professional love it, blocks all the tracking cookies and keeps me safe.

Even though you may get dangerous spyware, you are still vulnerable to tracking cookies, I had ad-watch and i have only had my comp on for about 6 hours, I usually keep it on 24/7 but I got 50 tracking cookies that it blocked, and I use firefox and don't go to pr0n sites. So I really would reccomend using ad-watch free, then check, and see what you get.

Just scan your computer with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D every once a while, and don't go to weird sites.
