Spyware Doctor has been downloaded over 50 Million times; with up to a million more downloads every week. People worldwide use Spyware Doctor to protect their identity and PC security.

Spyware Doctor has consistently been awarded Editors' Choice, by leading PC magazines and testing laboratories around the world, including United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany and Australia.

Installation

Spyware Doctor is automatically configured to give you optimal protection with limited interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.

We were able to download and install Spyware Doctor with ease. Once installed, the program walks you through a step-by-step installation guide. The installation process only takes 2 minutes to complete.

Updates

Spyware Doctor has an advanced update feature that continually improves its Spyware fighting capabilities on a daily basis. As Spyware gets more complex to avoid detection by Anti Spyware programs, Spyware Doctor responds with new technology to stay one step ahead.

Expect updates at least every 3 days, these frequent updates ensure your PC has the very latest spyware definition files, these files are needed to protect Your system from new spyware and adware emerging on the internet.

Scan

A full system scan took 5 minutes on our test PC. This was about average on the products we tested, a fairly quick time considering that both hard drives are full on our system (approx 120gb).

Over 250 infections were displayed after the scan was completed, these included fairly low level threats like minor adware, but we noted that 2 of the infections were keyloggers, these are malware with the ability to track keystrokes, including passwords, email messages etc. typed through your PC keyboard.

Pressing fix and continue will totally remove all traces of these infections, with the onGuard feature now turned on these kind of spyware-malware won't be able to infect our PC again.

Protection

Spyware Doctor's OnGuard technology only alerts users on a true Spyware detection. This is significant because as you should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you install software, add a site to your favourites or change your PC settings.

Such messages can be confusing and lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favourites or even Spyware being allowed to install on the system.

Technical Support 24/7

PC Tools offers several different support options for Spyware Doctor including a built-in help application, email support and a FAQ's page on their main website. A test email was sent to PC Tools, the response time was 6 hours.
