Which is better of the two?

Question

I have both Spyware Doctor and Norton Antivirus. Which one is better and works more effectively? I recently had that Antivirus XP or whatever show up on my computer and it was kinda of a pain in the @$$ to get rid off. But I'm not sure if it's all gone, I don't think my screen saver is right and there's no way for me to make changes on it. Help?

Answer 1

Most AntiViruses wont get rid of this program...use an antispyware program

edit::

norton antivirus is an AntiVirus, spyware doctor is an AntiSpyware so both is needed ..

for me i use McAfee and SuperAntiSpyware

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with Spyware doctor.  I am familiar with norton and would reccomend it.

If you don't think it's all gone try and operate yoru computer in safe mode.  When it first turns on you have to press one of the F keys - (F1, F2...).  If you're running XP, I believe it's F8.  Check the website I included just in case.  Pressing that key puts it into safe mode.  You can run certain programs from there and might help clean your computer better.  Try working on that screen saver too - you might be able to change it in safe mode.
