Spyware Destructor is NOT one of our mainstream anti spyware programs.
In fact if you'll just Google it, you'll see many calling it a "Rogue".

Why not stick with what most of this world recognizes as Mainstream Anti-spyware software?..... like Spybot Search & Destroy!

You'll be much better off staying with what's tried and true than going off on a tangent with something that could actually be a Rogue.

The internet is ablaze with articles about Spyware Destructor.
I found this one interesting.

Just type "Spyware Destructor" into the Google search engine and start reading. I read just a few posts and found nothing positive about it.

Anti Spyware programs that I know to be legitimate and reliable are:
AVG Anti-Spyware
Spybot Search & Destroy
AdAware 2007
Hazard Shield

Before putting anything on your computer that you saw in an Ad, Google it extensively to see what others are saying about it.

That's just the best advise that this old tech could give you.

Cheers Mate!
