Product Description

Computer Active
Spyware Doctor comes with 12 months of free updates and support and is well worth the asking price. Overall **** [Computer Act!ve, Issue 206]

Manufacturer's Description
Anti-virus and firewall software does not protect against spyware and privacy threats. Spyware is commonly bundled with software downloads, attached to e-mails, or transmitted through networks so it can appear to be legitimate software. Once installed, spyware can be nearly impossible to detect and remove without the help of a dedicated spyware removal utility like Spyware Doctor. Spyware Doctor gives you the most advanced protection against spyware through:

Deep Scanning and Thorough Removal Spyware Doctor has multiple intelligent and advanced scanners designed to burrow deep into your computer to hunt out and remove spyware and other threats.

Comprehensive Real-time Protection OnGuard (Spyware Doctor's real-time protection function) has many sophisticated tools to prevent spyware and other malicious threats from installing on your computer. Prevention, after all, is better than cure.

Immunization ActiveX threats are installed via your browser while using the Internet. The Immunizer function specifically protects your computer against malicious ActiveX-based threats by preventing them from running.

Key Features:
Full access to all OnGuard features including the most sophisticated real-time protection tools available today.

Some of these tools include:

  • Keylogger Guard to prevent malicious programs from recording your keystrokes, such as passwords and banking details.
  • Cookie Guard to prevent malicious cookies from tracking your browsing habits and reporting this back to an unauthorized third party.
  • Site Guard to warn against phishing attacks and prevent you from accessing suspected malicious sites.
  • Popup Blocker to stop annoying advertisements.
  • Full scan and remove functionality to rid your computer of unwanted spyware, adware, malware, trojans, keyloggers, spybots, adbots, trackware and other threats.
  • Regular signature updates (usually daily) as new threats are identified, to give you the most current and up-to-date protection.
  • 12 mths unlimited product upgrades to give you the most advanced, industry-leading tools as they are developed for the most thorough protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast scan with good detection, 4 Jan 2006
By P. Potter - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a slick product. It scans very rapidly and is easy to use compared with other spyware products. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that it consumes a bit too much in the way of resources if you leave it running as a background task, even on a Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM. But if you just want a spyware program to scan when you tell it to, then this is the one to get.

I had a problem with a nasty trojan on my machine, which was initially detected and blocked by a firewall. My virus scanner agreed there was a problem, but was unable to remove it, as the trojan kept re-creating the quarantined file. I tried several well known spyware catchers, virus scanners and security suites, but the only one that successfully detected and removed the trojan was the Spyware Doctor.

If you have a spyware problem, you can try the demo of this product first, which will detect but not remove the problem. Definitely a product worth looking at.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wait and see what this gem finds on your PC., 7 Jan 2006
By Glen Allan (Renfrewshire, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I use ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 and a free copy of Ad-Aware Se with all the latest updated spyware profiles.

I take security of my PC and home network extremely seriously, I haven't been bitten with a virus since 2001 when my hard drive got wiped (once bitten...) I run deep scans and virus checks on every pc at least once per week. Everything seemed OK.

Until I ran this application, it ran a deep sweep that took about an hour and located in total 58 variations of spyware (2 keyloggers, 2 backdoor exploits, the list went on and on) I used Spyware doctor to remove the offending files and have noticed a slight improvement in my system process time.

What can I say, I had never heard of this application until it came up in a PC Pro Review stating that if they could, they would rate it 6/5 stars.

They rate the application that highly that its' performance is used to compare against the performance of the anti spyware software that is bundled with all the current Internet Security packages. (none of them can beat it)

Conclusion: With this software and ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 I don't think I will be having any reason to worry for another long year.

4.0 out of 5 stars good and easy, 29 Oct 2006
By Mrs. J. A. Crilley "Peachy Girl" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had a problem with a bug which had infected my home page and kept changing it to their own encouraging me to buy their spyware product as my machine had an infection - of course it had, their program!!!!!!!
was recommended spyware doctor by and friend, bought it, ran it, and got rid of my problem. Very pleased. Only reason not 5 stars is that the are some items of spyware it doesn't yet catch and my other free programme does. Would heartily recommend Spyware Doctor to anyone.
