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.
