I downloaded PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Anti-virus (trial version), and I also have Haute Secure. I'm thinking of purchasing registration for the Spyware Doctor to get the benefits of the cleanup features, etc. It's reasonably priced and you can use the same subscription for up to 3 computers.

Is there any good ad/pop-up blocking software out there that is as good, or better than Norton?

TIA
I'm not sure if this s what you were referring to above, but in order for Spyware Doctor to remove anything, you must have the registered version.

I also recommend using Spybot Search & Destroy, Windows Defender, and AVG Anti-spyware all together for best protection.
