Rating: - Works as advertised, but a "professional" needs to do a comparison to its competitors
I've used Adware and Spybot in the past and currently use PC-cillin to remove malware. With the PC Tools Spyware Doctor, my feelings about this software are the same as I've had with the other malware removers I've used. They seem to work. However, I cannot rate the degree of effectiveness of each of these different brands. There will be occasions when one of the programs will detect malware that another misses, but none, including this program, seem to be consistently better or worse.

Rating: - PC Tools Spyware Doctor 6.0
I've used PC Tools software in the past, so I was curious to see what this new product would be like. It installed effortlessly on my Windows Vista PC.

Upon installing the software, 27 infections ... Read More
Rating: - faster, better than others
It's fast, easy to use, and gives you options as to what you might want to delete versus not.

I liked the option of having it automatically download and install updates without my having to affirm window after window in order to do so. I also like that I can ... Read More
Rating: - So far so good with initial heartattack!
Ok, I was ready to come on here and rip the program apart because initially my system completely froze and wouldn't reboot. My laptop is not even a year old running off of Windows Vista 32-bit. After the intial scare we crossed our fingers, kissed the CD and pushed it back into the drive.
Luckily we tried again, because this time it went off without a hitch. Right off the bat it asks for the Activation code that is on the insert. Download was pretty basic and I needed to turn off my other ... Read More
Rating: - Great spyware
When I started using this program I was nicely suprised. It picked up a few things that McAffee and Norton had not and took care of them quickly and cleanly.
I was sold. I definitely highly recommend this. Worth every penny. It works quickly and effeciently!
