Superior protection against spyware, viruses and adware

Detects, removes and blocks all types of spyware, viruses and malware.

Did you know that numerous programs tested against Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus detected only a small fraction of spyware and completely removed an even smaller amount? Most of them were also unable to effectively block spyware in real time from being installed on a user's PC in the first place. Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus includes an advanced update functionality to continually improve its spyware and virus fighting capabilities on a daily basis. As spyware and viruses become more complex to avoid detection by anti-malware programs, Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus responds with new technology to continually stay one step ahead.

Easy to Use

Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus features advanced technology designed for all users, not just experts. It is automatically configured out of the box to provide optimal protection with minimal user interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.

Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus' advanced IntelliGuard technology only alerts users on detection of true spyware. PC Tools' believes you should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you install software to your PC, add a site to your favorites or change your system settings. These messages can be confusing and could lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favorites or even malware being allowed to install.

Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus Key Features

  • Comprehensive Malware Protection
    Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus provides protection against identity theft, stealthy spyware, aggressive adware, browser hijackers, malicious ActiveX objects, malware Trojans, tracking cookies, keyloggers, dialers, viruses, worms, Trojan horse threats and other malicious infections.
  • Constant Real-Time Protection
    Through its unique IntelliGuard feature, Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus provides constant protection against malware. IntelliGuard works by blocking both known and unknown malware threats before they can install and cause any harm to a computer. IntelliGuard constantly monitors for malicious behaviour involving spyware processes, tracking cookies, malicious ActiveX objects, browser hijackers, viruses, keyloggers, Trojans and more.
  • Advanced Detection and Removal Technology
    By running an Intelli-Scan, Full Scan or Custom Scan, Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus will inspect the computer for all types of spyware and adware infections. Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus is rated highly by industry experts as being extremely effective in removing particularly nefarious threats such as rootkits and keyloggers. The unique Intelli-Scan feature is specifically designed to hunt swiftly and kill active running spyware threats in minutes, attributed to the intuitive and patent-pending spider scanning technology. This new technology works intelligently by using a combination of signature and behavioural scanning techniques to quickly and effectively identify internet threats.
  • Protection against zero day threats using Behavioural Heuristic Detection
    Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus delivers effective zero day protection against rootkits and keyloggers (in both scanning and IntelliGuard real-time areas) by monitoring for suspicious behaviour and blocking applications that exhibit signs of malicious activity.
  • Advanced Rootkit Detection
    Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus is capable of detecting and removing hidden processes and files associated with complex threats and rootkits. Using behavioural techniques, rootkits and other items that attempt to hide themselves deep in the computer operating system are detected and effectively removed.
  • Works Silently in the Background with Low CPU Usage
    Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus has been designed to work silently in the background when in monitoring mode. Threats are blocked and removed with minimal system impact and a small alert window will be displayed to advise you that your PC has been protected against an attack.
  • Automatic, Silent Smart Updates
    Frequent updates to detect and guard computers against new threats and viruses as well as provide enhancements to Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus are automatically installed and downloaded through the Smart Update function. Threat signatures are updated every business day or within hours of a high risk malware outbreak to protect you from the latest online threats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and effective, impressed., 2 Nov 2008
By ric03 (Rossendale, England.) - See all my reviews
  
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I've tried various PC maintenance utilities over the years. It becomes somewhat compulsive to keep your PC well-oiled and as free from junk as possible. This is amongst the most effective spyware packages I've found.

The software is very clean and easy to use. It comes provided with a simple manual which tells you clearly what the package does. Basically, this falls into two areas: Intelliguard and the Scanning tools. Intelliguard is a set of guards (browser guard, cookie guard, email guard, file guard, keylogger guard, network guard, process guard, site guard, startup guard, immunizer guard and behaviour guard) which block your computer from various threats in real time. It does work. I've had various message windows offering to block out things my Norten protection didn't (banners for adult sites were filtered out and blocked easily). I see people have suffered slowdown from this option. I haven't had any noticable problems; I'm on firefox 3 and it seems as fast as ever. If you do have problems, Intelliguard is highly customisable and you can switch off (or adjust) each single guard. Like I say though, I had no problems running all the guards and they do seem effective.

The other part of the software is the scanning tools. There are various scans you can run or you can just do a full scan (which is comprehensive and takes about 2 hours on my system). On the first scan it picked up 250 threats on my PC which Norten had let through. On each subsequent scan I've had only 1 or 2 threats which proves the tools for Intelliguard are doing their job. The scans themselves are similar to other spyware/antivirus scans and let you explore what threats you are going to remove before you do.

All in all I'm very impressed. The software is easy to use and seems to do a good job, efficiently and thoroughly. My obsessive 'Clean PC' compulsive disorder is sated for the time being :)

3.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Tool for Spyware, 27 Oct 2008
By E. A. Redfearn "eredfearn2" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
The software is quite easy to install, but if you already have an anti-virus running like I have (I use Kaspersky) the anti-virus element on Spyware can be disabled.

I did find it rather awkward to use at first, since it does cause PC to boot much slower, although once booted, and the Spyware set for scan, it is rather efficient in picking up unwanted spyware and adware and cookies. A warning does come up though if you attempt to delete cookies since it may disrupt certain programmes that you may be running.

Overall, a useful tool to have, although some users may find some of the elements such as Intelliguard causing one or two problems. It did cause my PC to crash when using it the first time. But like everything else, its trial and error until you get used to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Option For Buying Spyware Doctor, 31 Oct 2008
By James B. Spink "Jim" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
PC Tools is a company that has provided a wide range of PC security and tune up software for about the last five years. Their best known product is Spyware Doctor and the latest version (2009) is featured here. The company make their software available in a number of different packages and this version includes Antivirus software as well. A cheaper version has just the Spyware Doctor 2009 and the more expensive PC Tools Internet Security Suite 2009 has this package plus Firewall, Behaviour Guard and comprehensive filtering. It really depends whether you use other Antivirus products or not as to which package is best for you.

If you already have an Antivirus programme running then the basic Spyware Doctor 2009 is all you need to enhance it. This version adds antivirus for those without it or those looking for a change from their current one. This software has won many awards and is well regarded in the industry.

Like most of its competitors this software can be installed on up to three computers and is licensed for online updates for a year. It can look after itself for use by novices but also has features for more advanced users. Not as resource hungry as some competitors it is nevertheless ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble. If you are just looking for Internet safety, with no unwanted frills, PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2009 offers it to you in a first class product.

It was announced in August that PC Tools was to become part of the mighty Symantec Corporation. The company will theoretically maintain its independence and, hopefully, will continue to develop award winning products.
