Spyware Doctor with Anti Virus

Once installed Spyware Doctor downloads signature updates and then runs a quick scan. It will then repeat this process until satisfied, in order to actually remove the threats you then enter your registration code.

Targeting threats with Spyware Doctor

ThreatFire targets threats so new that they don’t have signatures, catching active files through behavioural profiling based on existing threats. They then disable and quarantine the file in question. It’s pretty zealous and you’ll have to tell it to allow programs when you’re installing them.

Spyware doctor doesn’t just offer clean up services, it obviously believes that prevention is better than cure so installs a host of components to protect your computer.  SiteGuard simply blocks sites hosting malware, while Browser Guard analyses web pages and Download Guard quarantines files it thinks are malicious.

Despite all these features the Doctor is relatively unobtrusive; the IntelliGuard^™ technology only alerts users on a true spyware or virus detection so avoiding the dozens of pop-ups.

The only grumble is that it doesn’t include a firewall, but it’s not alone in the antivirus market in that respect.

PC Tools has produced a great product that is well worth the money, it will safeguard you on multiple levels and from most threats.
