:(

Spyware Doctor is the best software that I have ever used, in fact, at one time, I would have to run CCleaner, Adaware, and Searchbot Search and Destroy, to get close to the same results, however, for some reason, my anti-virus program " BitDefender ", keeps picking up " Adware.HBO.Estalive ", and my " Spyware Doctor " has not. Spyware Doctor has picked up " Adware.CDN ", and " Caishow " however, and also, in LOCAL SETTINGS, there is a temp file called : " ZG Temp ". My hard drive is only a few weeks old, and all that I have surfed to are recipe sites, with the exception, of trying to get " google desktop ", which inundates one's system with all kinds of junk. Was mad! " My BitDefender " gets rid of it, but it is right back before the next scan, and since it is classified as Spyware, I am coming to the experts.
I think that you guys call it " somethin' yaya "?

Hi Doubletakecwm
Spyware Doctor uses a feature called "Immunisation". This involves placing registry keys in the Windows registry that BLOCK attacks by malicious software, like EstAlive toolbar. This can sometimes mean that other security software detects this action and decides that it is malicious. Please note thsi is a false positive with BitDefender, please report it to their support team. I agree with Reodor, please see the following threads for more information:
