ted,

we are not in any way associated with “Doctor Antivirus 2008″.
“Doctor Antivirus 2008″ is a nasty parasite and a spyware, and the aim of this blog is to help people get rid of spyware.
you can delete it manually, as you can get a reputable anti-spyware to delete it for you.

I hope I clarified your confusion.
