2.0 out of 5 stars Slows PC to a crawl, May 2, 2010

I'm sure this software is effective -- in fact in initial scans it caught lots of adware that Webroot Spysweeper never did -- but it's such a resource hog that my entire PC now works very slowly. Apps open more slowly, and IE7 also barely moves. I disabled a couple of the guards and that helped, but of course then it leaves me more vulnerable. In addition, an e-mail to Support 2 weeks ago still has not been answered. This was highly rated by some PC magazines, but overall I'm very disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than the viruses., January 20, 2011

I am a heavy PC user, and this product basically cripples the PC so badly that you might as well take your chances on getting a virus. To make matters worse, every time it automatically updates, another application or service on my computer stops working.
Definitely do not run this if you have
1. SQL Server
2. Cisco VPN client or any other VPN client for that matter
3. Anything that you need to run quickly.

This software really isn't enterprise quality.

I've had it for 60 days now and have had to completely rip it out and reinstall it because it completely stopped working due to some update problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with windows 7, November 4, 2010

bought a full version of PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2010 from Buy.com. Was not able to activate antivirus protection on either of my machines (Win 7 ultimate and Win 7 home premium ) even after intense but fruitless correspondence with the helpdesk.
All other tools seems to work, however significantly slowing down the system.
A few events like computer crashing and blocking me from attaching files to the email probably caused by the software (Computer got back to normal after a clean uninstall) .
