As a final precaution, you can download CCleaner and run it.
  
  

Ensure Spoof Software is Removed

• As was mentioned earlier, many viruses and malware will attempt to camouflage themselves as other programs, such as Spyware Doctor, and this is the cause of many problems that appear to be related to the software itself. To prevent this,completely clean your system. Not only will this remove any final traces of Spyware Doctor spoofs, it should also remove most, if not all, other spyware and malware from your system.
  
  First, you should aquire, install, and update Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. These are some of the most recommended spyware removal tools available. SpyBot is free, you can download the demo of Ad-Aware, and you should be able to find a downloadable version of MalwareBytes on MajorGeeks.com. Once you have secured all of the scanning software you will be using, restart your computer in Safe Mode without network support and do full system scans with Adaware, SpyBot, and Malwarebyte. Fix and remove any issues discovered by the software. Once you have finished with the scans, you can restart your computer normally.
  
  

Cleaning up any Remainders

• There should be no traces of Spyware Doctor left on your computer and most, if not all, spyware should be removed as well. If you are still experiencing problems with Spyware Doctor, or any spyware for that matter, you can download a program called Hijackthis which will make a complete scan of your system and provide you with a log file of potential vulnerabilities and spyware. You can then search this log file for entries related to Spyware doctor and remove them. However, be careful when using Hijackthis, an item listed in the log file is not necessarily spyware or a vulnerability. In fact, most items will be customizations you have made yourself to software.
