Spyware Doctor review

Spyware Doctor is a very powerful, but yet highly user-friendly spyware remover, made by PC Tools, reputable computer security experts. This product provides effective and easy-to-manage protection from most security and privacy threats.

The application thoroughly checks the Windows registry, running processes, web browser cookies and plug-ins, essential system components, all files and folders on local hard drives. Spyware Doctor offers the Quick Scan, Full System Scan, and configurable scan of user-defined locations. Reports are well informative and readily comprehensible even for inexperienced users. The program uses regularly updated malware definitions database that currently contains almost 68,000 signatures. It allows Spyware Doctor to correctly recognize and eliminate practically any kinds of spyware and adware parasites, trojans, keyloggers, backdoors, trackware and other dangerous, emerging threats.

Spyware Doctor's scan engine uses unique techniques to identify recent malware infections utilizing rootkits and hidden system drivers. Essential parts of such parasites are protected by the operating system and cannot be easily removed. However, Spyware Doctor is capable of disabling and completely eliminating such threats. Furthermore, it prevents aggressive parasites from terminating the spyware remover.

The program implements advanced real-time protection OnGuard based on special monitors independent from each other. Each of them has its own objective. For instance, Startup Guard prevents parasites from running on system startup. Browser Guard removes browser hijackers, Keylogger Guard terminates keyloggers, Process Guard stops malicious programs from running and installing themselves to the system, Network Guard protects critical network settings, and Exploit Guard defends software from latest exploits. Other real-time monitors are Immunizer, Popup Blocker, Site Guard.

The spyware remover's latest version introduces new real-time monitor - Instant Messenger (IM) Guard. This tool provides reliable protection of instant messaging applications such as MSN Messenger by blocking any potentially malicious links and messages sent by attackers or infected buddies.

Spyware Doctor comes with more useful tools. Spyware Doctor Network is a special utility that captures suspicious files and sends them to the PC Tools Malware Research Center.

The spyware remover supports advanced scheduling.

The program's interface is intuitive and very attractive. It is translated into six languages.

Limited free version finds critical objects, reveals their exact location and provides parasite detailed descriptions, but does not remove them. You have to purchase the full product in order to enable Spyware Doctor's parasite removal functions.

The official web site is www.pctools.com. Purchases are made via reputable services using secure connection.

9. by Guest. 2009-02-22 21:02:59
I wasted my time downloading this and it didn't do anything for free but tell me what I already knew...I was infected.

10. by Guest. 2009-02-12 13:02:15
I found Spyware Doctor to be too resource hungry and have now replaced it with Spy Sweeper.

11. by Guest. 2009-02-09 13:02:48
by Guest. 2009-01-26 09:01:50 here you go 14mb version

12. by Guest. 2009-01-26 09:01:50
You have to be simply irresponsible to have me download a 30mb program on a dial-up connection with informing me in advance that i have to pay for it to work.

13. by Guest. 2008-12-29 17:12:45
I think malwarebytes is a better antispyware/malware for removal from its free version.

14. by Guest. 2008-12-11 16:12:39
Yeah Malwarebytes' Anti Malware would be definitely a better choice.

15. by Guest. 2008-09-13 10:09:32
USES TOO MUCH RESOURCES!! But detects and removes quite well

16. by Guest. 2008-07-27 02:07:50
"• optimal (low) system requirements" That's a lie. Takes 117mb of Ram and 97% CPU for 3 minutes at each computer bootup. If you buy it, disable it except when needed, and get resource friendly apps!!

17. by Guest. 2008-07-27 02:07:05
JUNK!! Resource HOG!! And they overcharged me for it!!! You better have lots of memory, because Spyware Doctor Takes a lot when starting up/scanning. There are better alternatives available. Buy at your own risk!!!

18. by Guest. 2008-07-26 04:07:29
if you want remove antivirus 2008, use SmitFraudFix. type it in google.com and download it

19. by Guest. 2008-07-07 12:07:11
Use malwarebytes-anti malware program to remove antivirus 2008.

20. by Guest. 2008-06-18 23:06:40

it is the best that i ever seen PARASITES !!! also can be detect it's too wonderful

23. by Guest. 2007-07-22 21:07:40
Ad-Aware SE? It isn't worth crap, unless you have Spyware Doctor amd/or Spybot with it. Every now and then SE will find one or 2 critical objects, but nothing above a TAC level of 3.

24. by Guest. 2007-05-17 06:05:10
Yes its a great spyware programme thanks a lot from pakistan

25. by Guest. 2007-04-06 04:04:27

26. by Guest. 2007-03-29 17:03:33
Quote from an article in theregister.co.uk "Google is to begin distribution of a cut-down, free version of Spyware Doctor 5.0. A Free Google Pack edition of Spyware Doctor offers spyware detection and removal as well as on-access real-time protection."

27. by Guest. 2006-12-29 23:12:40
I still think Ad-Aware SE is better...

28. by Guest. 2006-11-10 10:11:35

29. by Guest. 2006-10-31 19:10:35

I purchased spyware Doctor (download) and must say its very good and effective, simple to use, user friendly and quite interactive.

31. by Guest. 2006-03-25 05:03:39
Yes I have to agree, just briliant. I use it nearly every day.... :)!

32. by Guest. 2006-02-26 09:02:16
AWESOME! Period!

33. by Guest. 2006-02-07 05:02:24
Fantastic, i had removed all trojan dialers and spywares with this software. And if you have also Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot together Spyware-Doctor software....it'll be all better.
