The Weekly Download: Spyware Doctor

This weeks great (and free) download is Spyware Doctor from PC Tools.

If you have noticed your computer running slower than usual, or are experiencing unusual pop-ups, you may have spyware.

Spyware is basically software hidden in free downloads (games, programs, etc.)and gathers information usually for advertising purposes.


Spyware Doctor can help. Spyware Doctor basically scans your computer for things such as Spyware, Adware, Trojan viruses, Keyloggers, and more.

PC Tools has won many awards for their creation of Spyware Doctor and the program has been downloaded over 30 million times.

With the free version, you can choose to do a full system scan, a quick scan or a custom scan.

I would recommend that you do a full system scan (registry & file system) at least once a week, especially if you download a lot.

Spyware Doctor searches quickly with its Intelli-signatures technology.

Another cool feature is that it can block custom made key-loggers in real time with Keylogger Gaurd (Patent pending).

Normally that would take weeks before it anti-spyware programs would be able to detect it.

If you buy a license from PC Tools you can get added protection with OnGaurd Protection.

Added is a browser monitor, a cookie monitor, an immunizer, a pop-up blocker, and a scheduler.

What I especially love, is that as its scanning you can minimize the program in the system tray so that your task bar is free for other programs.

I would highly recommend Spyware Doctor (as I myself own a copy) especially if you have spyware problems on your computer.
