Be careful with Spyware Doctor

If not set carefully, it runs in the background going through your cookies and deciding which ones should be removed.

It removed one of my accounts from my bank site and I couldn't restore the account because the cookies didn't match up anymore. I finally resolved it by restoring a cookie file from a week ago from a backup.

All in all, I don't recommend the program and have removed it from "active duty".
