   Antivirus8 will not let me run your application. When I click on your Icon Antivirus8 keeps popping up and Spyware Doctor doesn’t run. Any suggestions?

   The removal instructions (above) are a bit out of date, as of Jan 2011.

   In addition to the instructions shown above:
   (a) search for “iesafemode.exe” in your Programs directory (or sub-directory) and delete it.
   (b) in the registry, search for all occurrences of “iesafemode”. If they are keys, delete them. If they are values (under “Debugger” for each browser type), change them to null (ie: backspace over them).
   (c) If you use Firefox, you’ll find that AV8 has added a line to the end of the all.js file. Delete the last line if it contains “WinNT-A8I”, or something similar, and the date.
