Hello, I just uninstalled Spyware Doctor because of its update problems and other problems. I now want something that does a good job at detecting spyware. Any suggestions please?

I agree about MalwareBytes .. a good program to remove some virus & trojans that get in. If you want real time protection in MalwareBytes, I think the License code is $29.95 and it is a One Time Fee
 
I've used Superantispyware and it really is very good. Got to give Malwarebytes a try sometime.
 
I've been using Spybot for some time now and it hasn't given me any problems. I'll give SAS a try when I get home. Also I use Spywareblaster to restrict unwanted sites.
 
Virus or unwanted program 'HEUR/HTML.Malware [heuristic]'

Avira just gave me this message with I tried to go to www.superantispyware.com , is it a false positive? I'm a little puzzled.
 
"New virus or I'm getting paranoid?"

Usually I'm the latter 😀 I read avira's website on this scanner and evidently it has a high level of detection but creates a lot of false positives because of the nature of some peoples webpages.

so false alarm
