    I have recently noticed DCads on my laptop. A friend said to use the Stinger Virus Scanner. Will this work?

      I would go with different antivirus. Avast,Avira or even better, Kaspersky or Nod32. Also, Spyware Doctor (our recommended remover) is usually better against such type of parasites than pure antiviruses.
