If you have Antimalware Doctor on your PC, you need to remove it immediately! It might look like a free antivirus program but it just the opposite. If you do not delete this immediately, it will cause a lot of damage to your computer. You might get corrupted registry files and it may crash your computer, sometimes even permanently. Your data might get deleted and you can lose all those documents, pictures and other files on your PC. It could even steal your private information like passwords and credit card account which can then be used for other illegal activities.
This rogue anti-spyware is usually deposited by other malware like Trojans, spam attachments and viruses. You might have gotten it from downloading using peer-to-peer networks or through shady websites and ads.
On the surface, it will look like a legitimate anti-spyware program. Do not be fooled by this. Ignore any popups it might flash and do not pay for the “full” version of this software. It will not help you remove any viruses. On the contrary, it will deposit more malware on your PC if you do not remove it immediately.

this is truly a racket, at the time of installation I knew it wasnt working correctly and immediately contacted the company and spoke to a person named Mark Harris, his reply was that in 3-4 weeks my money would be refunded or on the next bank statement, surprise that has not happened yet. When contacting by phone there are always technical problems with their computer. I guess I'm out of 51.97.

I am surprised they even had a contact number. Usually the people behind programs like Antimalware Doctor are Russian hackers. If they refund your money then great, Bbut I wouldn't hold my breath!
