    might just be me or my computer, but this program did nothing by way of removing XP antispyware 2010. it detected it, which was good of it, but then it wanted me to register and pay money for the privilige of removing it, which was ironically similar to the thing i was trying to remove in the first place. spyware doctor then informed me it would block XP spyware 2010 – also nice, except it didn’t, instead i was blocked from firefox, from explorer, and even from uninstalling spyware doctor. rubbish
