Avast and SpywareStop software

Lately I’ve been having trouble with avast. I have spywarestop software that monitors for malware. Out of the blue Avast reported that spycleaner.dll was malware when starting my computer. I have to choose no action. Turn off avast, start spywarestop, then start avast again. Things work OK unless I do any updates like to IE or windows or installing software that needs to have the computer rebooted. Then it does it again and I have to go through the process again. I even have the folder excluded, but it still happens. Any ideas how to get this to stop?

Yes, I have an idea … uninstall it. SpywareStop is a rogue program that is a scam. I hope you have not bought it. See the links below.

ScanDoo also reports the site as bad. Click the image to enlarge it.


If you’re sure that program is clean and safe, you need to use the Exclusion lists.
But it seems to be a rogue program.
