Speaking about terms. Rogue antivirus is a product that displays fake alerts, and detects intentional false positives (infections, that they know they are not there). SD is none of that. SD is legitimate. People that claim otherwise either support single/couple products or haven't got full information. PC Tools AV is tested in all virus tests ( AV module is not so good, i do not recommend it), it is included in services as virus total. I have not so good opinion about AVAST. Kaspersky is great, though I see no big reason to switch from ESET which I use for daily protection with other tools, including SD. Personally I have no opinion about Comodo.

But that's exactly what you're doing. The message is from Windows' own Action center in Windows 7. There are no installed programs encouraging installing or buying rouge AV's, the only rouge AV involved is the one you're pushing..Spyware Doctor. I recommend legit Antiviruses. Avast or Kaspersky. Comodo is a runner up for the two. Avast is simple, and powerful. (and free) Kaspersky is THE BEST AV in my opinion, but can be a bit much to configure. Comodo is good, but a bit of a resource hog.
