Hi guys,
I downloaded spyware doctor from GooglePack, and I thought that it was great (found loads of things), but whats bugging me is that it keeps finding (every few days) 20-40 items (all low-risk) that need to be deleted, and, from a glance, they all seem to be the same as what I got rid of before. Every now and then a high-risk one will pop up, but normally its a few cookies.

Is this program actually doing anything, or is it a worthless use of memory?
Is there something better out there?

The program is worthless

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, Dr. Web Cureit, and SUPERAntiSpyware are all far better and free
