Review for Spyware Doctor
spyware doctor is a ripoff
my computer was infected by "security suite" and held hostage. After reading several reviews I purchased Spy Doctor it initially corrected the problem BUT really slowed down my system. Two weeks later my computer was reinfected with the same virus.
Spyware Doctor, PC Tools an unethical company
I purchased Spyware Doctor from the PC Tool website in April 2008, hoping to get rid of some infections that my installed CA Security Suite didn't manage, provided by Time Warner with high speed Internet.
Spyware Doctor could not remove it either, so money thrown down the drain. I found a free software after that, MalwareBytes, which finally cleaned my system completely! That time I already decided not to renew PC Tool's Spyware Doctor but little have I known what problems I would be faced with later! My subscription expires in April 2009 but they already did a renewal mid March and charged my credit card! I tried several times to cancel it, to no avail and the company doesn't reply to any of my emails. They have apparently an automatic renewal which I haven't noticed which doesn't make sense if my contract expires on April 6, why renew it March 16? Logged in there is an option to change that and it says a confirmation email would be sent which executes the process but never mind how many times I tried it, it doesn't work! If one pushes the button to let send the software key, the email appears right away, so I tried to use that sales email address for my reply and that was not answered either. I bought many software since 1995 when I started to use a computer but never have experienced such a trouble with a company! I do not recommend them!

only version that seemed to work for me is v.4. Any higher version on my WinXP PCs causes them to hang unexpectedly, or to slow them down completely. Now there seems no updates for v.4.
