Spyware Doctor
Spyware Doctor is a spyware remover and provides real-time anti-spyware
protection against spyware, adware, Trojan horses, keyloggers,
spyware cookies, adbots, spybots, browser hijackers, phishing
attacks and other malware threats. Additionally it actively
protects web browsing using Internet Explorer with a built-in
popup blocker and malicious site guard. Spyware Doctor is easy to
use and low on PC resources and its scanning speed is delivered by
multiple specialized scanners. Almost any function of Spyware
Doctor can be updated through the Live Update process. The OnGuard
feature is designed to provide real time protection and deploys
several tools that actively monitor and protect the PC from
spyware attacks.
New version adds an Instant Messenger (IM) Guard Tool to the OnGuard
real-time protection. It also features a new ability to remove
challenging new threats designed to elude elimination. The new
version includes the option of creating a Windows System Restore
point prior to threat removal.
The trial version of Spyware Doctor offers solid
real-time protection for your system, but without removal
capabilities users with infected computers will need to purchase a
registration code or look elsewhere. With quick scanning and
multiple tools for stopping malware before it infects your
computer, the paid version of Spyware Doctor is a solid spyware
remover. The well-designed interface makes getting started a
breeze. The program can perform a number of scans, including Quick
Scan, which blazes through common trouble spots such as IE cache
files. We found scan times to be fast, with even the Full System
Scan taking under five minutes on our test machine. Spyware Doctor
displays scan results clearly, showing file and registry
locations, threat level, and a concise description of the threat.
The results seem thorough, but the trial version offers no removal
features.
Spyware Doctor's trial features include real-time protection, a
pop-up blocker, a browser monitor, and a keylogger guard. The Live
Update feature works smoothly, letting you know at start-up if
there are significant updates. New features in this latest version
also include Spider scanning tecnology, rootkit scanning,
alternate data streams (ADS) threat detection, kernel-level
malicious-process detection, and minor enhancements to the
graphical user interface. The full version of this program is one
of the better antispyware tools available, but without the ability
to remove threats in the trial, your infected computer will remain
that way unless you purchase the full version. We really like the
spyware-removal features of the full version of Spyware Doctor,
and consider it one of the most effective available, but the
anemic free version makes it hard for users to fully realize its
true potential.
