When a rogue virus started telling me my computer was being attacked I had been forewarned. Youtube came to the rescue and I was able to remove it. Somebody may know better, but PC Tools had good reviews and I used it. I also looked up the different plans for help.

I used this link

PC dr is slow and has issues as the review states, but it did the job.

I agree with the review.
The software uses between 15 and 20MB of memory according to the Task Manger, which is a nice low number.

Time it took to perform a full system scan
More, read review.

Spyware Doctor plus AntiVirus took 51 minutes to scan our test computer's hard drive. This is a very reasonable time and is on par with competing solutions such as Norton AntiVirus 2010 and

One of our biggest misconceptions about computers Jazz is that we THINK when we delete something it's gone,it's not all that happens is it gets broken down into other little folders and sub folders.

We go to other sites Perv on the chicks or blokes and other sites then think we've finished with that site,but we've left a track going back to that site and everything we've looked at is stored in our hard drives.

I told you a few mins ago about two programs I run everyday when I'm ready to log off,this one thing alone cleans all the crap off of the hard drive.
