It currently has 4 different spyware removal programs, which include: Spyware Doctor Windows Live OneCare SpywareBlaster Spybot - Search & Destroy I must keep Windows Live OneCare because it's part of the whole program that cost money to have, but out of the other three which two should I remove? |

Doctor finds it's own things that it puts there, as I have found when I installed a while ago. I no longer use Spyware Blaster, due to the fact S&D has more definitions. Don't forget about AdAware

You should remove: Spyware Doctor SpywareBlaster They are not as good as the other two and probably install spyware or adware or malware. |

Neither installs any spyware, don't speak unless you know from experience.. I used Spyware Blaster for years, but recently Spybot's Immunize database grew larger than Spyware Blaster, so I don't see the need for both programs. Spyware doctor worked alright, as I have said, except it kept finding two files in it's own program file. |

Neither installs any spyware, don't speak unless you know from experience I did not say that they did install spyware I only said probably because alot of "spyware removal" programs named like that often do the opposite of what you want. |
