On another support call for a virus, and I tell the client to download Malwarebytes, and they see an ad for "Spyware Doctor", nearly clicking on it - I yell "NOOOOOOOOOOO DOOONNT CLIIIICK IIT!!!!!" Not sure how, but this program must have some serious ad campaign money, it shows up all over the place.
While its not a virus, Spyware Doctor is nearly worse - it will turn even the fastest computer into a 1969 VW Beetle (aka 'slug bug'). I have seen it actually remove some spyware and viruses, but there are at least a dozen other programs that do this far more efficiently without clobbering your CPU all day long while you try to work. If you have it, you can easily remove it via Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and regain vast amouts of speed.
To make a long story short - DO NOT USE Spyware Doctor!!! Unless you want your PC slow forever more.
