I hope I'm posting this in the right forum...

I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and though it got rid of Desktop Defender 2010 the first time, it immediately came back not long after. I tried system restore, I downloaded Spyware Doctor with Antivirus but It’s not getting rid of it. How can I remove it completely and stop it from coming back?

Hello Elizabeth,

Most likely it came back because MalwareBytes and Spyware Doctor didn't remove all infected files (usually trojan viruses). You must either update MalwareBytes and Spyware Doctor if new updates are available or use another anti-spyware application. I recommend SUPERAntispyware (free edition). http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html

You see, sometimes one product removes particular viruses better that other ones. Maybe SUPERAntispyware will be able to remove the remains of Desktop Defender 2010.

Good luck!
