Remove a Malware Doctor Virus
Malware Doctor is a rogue anti-spyware program that secretly installs on your computer using Trojans. Once installed, this fake security program displays pop-ups claiming your computer is infected with spyware. It attempts to trick you into purchasing the full software, which promises to remove the detected threats.
