1 find the file that supports the spyware. (go to your start menu and go to "search". do a search on the name of suspected spyware.)



2 delete it, it'll probably have an error message, if it does then go to the task manager ( ctrl, alt, del) and go to processes find the suspected spyware and end process.



3 go back to the file and delete it. it should go away with no problem.



If that doesn't work then use an antispyware software.

Here is a way to manually remove it.



1. Ensure that you have fully exited the application. To fully exit from Spyware Doctor please right click on the Spyware Doctor icon in the notification area (next to the clock on the Windows taskbar) and select Shutdown from the menu that appears. Please also close any instances of Internet Explorer or other browsers.

2. Perform an uninstall of Spyware Doctor from:

Start > Programs > Spyware Doctor > Uninstall Spyware Doctor

3. **IMPORTANT** Make sure that the Spyware Doctor folder (which by default would be under 'C:\Program Files') no longer exists. If the 'Spyware Doctor' folder still exists, please delete the folder.

4. Select Start>Run

5. Type in regedit and click OK

6. Please locate the following keys and remove them:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PCTools\Spyware Doctor

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PCTools\Spyware Doctor

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\Spyware Doct



This will ensure that Spyware Doctor has completely uninstalled from your system and you will be able to do a fresh install for Spyware Doctor.

If u can't uninstall any program Try this:



> Reinstall your program (Spyware Doctor)

> After installation complete Restart your PC

> Uninstall (Spyware Doctor)





""If you just deleting folder on Program Files the service is still running and some files can't be deleted and your uninstallation isn't complete yet.



I hope this will help

Why not simply do a system restore and then get yourself a decent antivirus program and Super Antispyware. You're very generous with your offer of 20 points, but 10 is the maximum!
