1.0 out of 5 stars Can not recommend, January 10, 2009

By	diogenes "It consultant" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PC Tools Spyware Doctor + Antivirus 2009 Version 6.0 (CD-ROM)

I purchased Spy Doctor after having discovered my browser was hijacked, that is, when I use it, a new copy pops up with unwanted ads. I ran Spy doctor, but it did not remove the problem. I emailed tech support, and they sent me some explicit instructions, including building a log and sending it to them. I did so. Finally they sent me an email saying my complaint was "closed" and that the problem had been referred to their research group. That was 2 months ago, and they will not respond back and have not fixed the problem. Basically I wasted the purchase price, because I bought it to solve this problem. I don't fault them for not having an immediate fix, but quitting on the problem? Wow!

2.0 out of 5 stars Works but slows pc waaay down, January 1, 2009

By	bcom (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PC Tools Spyware Doctor + Antivirus 2009 Version 6.0 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this product to replace Spy Sweeper because Spy Sweeper wasnt catching everything.Spy Sweeper was a good program but not the best.I ran Spyware Doctor for about 2 months and it works really well but a little too well.For some reason my computer kept getting slower and slower.It took 30-40 seconds to open a browser window and about the same amount of time to execute a program file.For the life of me i couldnt figure out why.I shut down the Spyware Doctor and my computer was faaast again,WAY FAST! I wrote to Pc Tools regarding the problem and they did respond wanting me to download some other type of software to see if there were any program conflicts.Ive been through that kinda stuff before so i just uninstalled the SD and guess what??? I put my Spy Sweeper Back in.Now my computer is fassst again.Spy Sweeper may not catch all the spyware but no spyware program is perfect.Whats the purpose of having good security if your pc cant open a browser window anyway?

3.0 out of 5 stars Dont be fooled by large numbers of spyware found by this tool, January 19, 2009

By	A. Haase (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PC Tools Spyware Doctor + Antivirus 2009 Version 6.0 (CD-ROM)

I did a trial of this product before purchasing the Webroot equivalent (Spyware Sweeper) when this product tried to put suspicious things in my startup on about the third run of the program. This was probably nothing sinister, but the program did not tell me what it was doing this and I did NOT allow it!

I did note that this program counts each registry entry and each file and each bookmark etc. of anything it considers spyware as an instance. With one spyware program it can report more than a hundred threats found. It is an attempt to make them seem more thorough, but I am not convinced. I sure hope other programs do not follow suit.

Spyware Sweeper is now crashing on me nearly every sweep (a directory of MIDI files seems to consistently confuse it), so I am in the market again. I am a little nervous about this one and am hoping to find another alternative (unfortunately I cannot recommend anything at this point).
