Spyware doctor security key?

I have downloaded 'spyware doctor' after doing a google search, but when I try to run the program it asks for a security key.
On the web page I downloaded from it said it was a 'FREE download', and I cant see anything about obtaining a key.

Does anyone know where I can get a 'security key' from? do I have to look on another website?

Thanks in advance.

    If i remember rightly the free download only lets you scan your pc for spyware/adware, to remove the spyware/adware from your machine you have to purchase a serial key which unlocks all the features of the spyware doctor. In other words the free download is useless, unless of course you know where to look for hacked security keys, but thats just a little bit illegal.

    you are better off deleting it form your pc and downloading

    Spybot

    Ad-Aware

    Microsoft Antispyware

    Go and get SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster and install them both along with Spybot S&S (with the teatimer running) and you wont get any spyware getting through. I've not had anything in almost a year and I regularly run Adaware, Spybot, NoAdware and MS Antispyware and none of them find anything.:j
    But most importantly, keep them all regularly updated.

    The free Spyware doctor does let you remove spyware after scanning

    You need to pay to unlock some of the more advanced features
