Anti-Sypware, Thu Jul 28 2005
Reviewed By: Jennifer Hill

My spyware problem is called "Advanced Keylogger." Spyware Doctor is able to immunize against future infections but is not able to remove the present one. I haven't found a single program yet that can remove this, however, so I give it 4 stars for at least being able to immunize against it.

Spyware Doctor, Sat Nov 18 2006
Reviewed By: Robert

Three years ago I bought Spyware Doctor. That version was catching things on a weekly basis. Since then, I upgraded the product twice and just expired the latest version. Pros are, early version worked. Pricing is fair. Interface is good with nice options. Intuitive as well.
Cons.
I have a Dell 2.8gh pc with 2gig of ram, XP Home Edition, and it slows my system to the equivalent of a slug in winter. If you set it to not run a scan on startup, it still runs a base check for about 5-10 minutes, rendering your PC all but useless unless you use task manager to lower its priority. No option to background without running some kind of check when started. At least on mine, it ran base checks after I set it to do nothing as it took five to ten minutes to settle in when I logged on. If manually started it takes eons to run, uses 98 percent of your cpu for about 15-20 minutes then settles down. During this time, it displays a logo that hogs the screen and nothing can jump ahead of it so software that is running is essentially unavailable for interaction. Latest two versions have not caught ONE item in the last two years and I updated it regulary. Not sure what that means except that if it was doing its job, it did not notify me of anything it caught. It is a HUGE resource HOG and I got tired of waiting on it and the effects it had. I opted not to renew. Tech support was limited and not that helpful as I got canned responses and they would not take suggestions on improving the product. The help was via email and I definitely got the impression the technician was low on the technical knowledge meter. My complaints did not get answered in a timely manner and the suggestions were not at all useful. On about four occasions I had to deinstall, and reinstall as it was so slow, it sometimes would hang. Noticed that the more I updated the knowledge base, the slower it got. There are agencies, I will not name, that give this software a high rating. Beware, what you hear from them is not always what you get.
I rate first version a 9, revisions to present a 1.

Treacly slow, Mon Dec 25 2006
Reviewed By: Greyhair

Purchased Spyware Doctor and frustrated at the way it hogs the pc. If it is set to run at startup, switch your pc on and go for a coffee. I no longer have it on my start up and only manually start, update and scan when I have nothing better to do. It may be a good program but what is the point if it kicks in and stops any work you are doing and forces you to sit and wait. When loading it does NOT allow you to carry on working and it does take an age. I shall not be renewing my subs.

Spyware Doctor 5, Wed May 02 2007
Reviewed By: climax510

Great Product once program bugs are eradicated.
I installed Spyware Doctor 5 after using version 4 for a while. I must admit I took a huge chance considering the reviews I read warned me. The program is a resource hog and made all 5 of my systems unstable. Yes unstable. Lots of crashes, hangs, and sluggish. I hated to admit that one of my favorite programs was really causing these problems. I have several infections on my system and although it detected them it could not remover them which is the whole point of the program. CNET.com reviewed the program and suggested waiting for version 5.5 but me being Mr. No It All figured I could beat whatever instabilities came with this version. Needless to say I've uninstalled it from every single system. I love the improvements they've started but just couldn’t risk my systems. Bottom line waits for version 5.5.

Is it that good?, Tue Jul 18 2006
Reviewed By: Dennis

Too many finds?
Adaware and Spybot S & D found 2 items. Spy Doctor found 78!!
Now is this bloody good or is something amiss with the claims made by Spy Doctor and what it actually finds. Is there False Positives here? Are the majority of finds just trivia?
Any views about this or experiences?

Decent product, Fri Jun 01 2007
Reviewed By: MW

Google Pack now packs a limited version of SD for free! It does a great job at finding lots of baddies on your system. Unfortunately, it uses a lot of system resources and is less stable than other commercial anti-spyware. It has been the cause of more than one crash on some workstations that I've had it installed on.

Spyware Doctor 5.5, Mon Jan 21 2008
Reviewed By: David Tonchin

I've used SD for years and never had a problem until I installed 5.5.It prevented Internet & email connections and slowed the system down. I removed it and reinstalled version 4.1 with no problems.
