Quick Question

[Atsuke]

I have 3 scanners, Yahoo Anti Spy, Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Ad-aware. They detect nothing and my comp seems to be doing fine, then when I decide to add another scanner, Spyware Doctor (Unregistered version; and it cant delete the files since its not registered), it says I've got 237 infections on my comp. Do I really have spyware on my comp or is Spyware doctor trying to get me to buy its software so I can use it?

If I do have some, please help!

Hello and welcome to the forum. To try an answer this question, I must say that I have never liked Spyware Doctor, and though it is considered "valid", I would not use it or suggest it, but then again I suggest only freeware programs anyway.

I see no malware in this HJT log and trust Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Ad-aware far more than SD (afterall, they are not asking you to send the $$). Here is a nice cleaning tool, use it as directed to clean out any junk SD might be picking up and then scan again:

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Once you have done that, reboot and if SD continues to suggest those numbers, I would wonder about the program if I were you. Here is a free trial scan we use a lot, you can keep the scanner if you wish (free updates) or uninstall the program as you wish. http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

Here is some great information to take with you:

Im Glad we could help
Since the problems are solved Im going to close the topic now, this keeps others with similar problems from posting there logs/question here, they should start a new topic.

If you should need to post another log for the same PC let one of us know via a PM (personal message).
