A
Bottom Line
Most
effective anti-spyware program. In the very latest testing, Spyware
Doctor is slightly better at removing spyware from test systems, but
experts also say Spyware Doctor is cumbersome to update, often requiring
user involvement and rebooting. The program's inelegance is the reason
why many professional reviewers prefer Spy Sweeper. Reviews still
suggest using one or more free programs in conjunction with Spyware
Doctor.
Pros
Antivirus protection is certified by independent labs. Multiple layers
of protection prevent installation of most malware. Did a good job of
cleaning up malware-infested systems.
Cons
Better at finding malware and stopping it dead than at preventing it
from installing in the first place. Keylogger protection lacking.
