Scoop on spyware doctor?

Question

The link has some impressive cradentials, does anyone have any feedback positive or negative on this spyware remover. Don't see too many people talking about or recommending it.

Answer 1

Many people criticize this wonderful product because the trial version only scans and does not remove threats. You have to buy the Full Version to remove threats. In my opinion this is the BEST Spyware Removal tool. It has picked up about 500 infections om my friend's computer that both Ad-Aware and Spybot missed. And when he decided to buy it, and when he ran the scan again, it marked 500 infections so it was no scam. And it managed to delete all of the threats. It has a nice and user-friendly interface. It also has an excellent OnGuard (Real-Time Protection) which blocks malicious sites and most of the Spyware trying to invade your computer. It updates about 5 times a week and the updates are always about 1.43 MB big. The only con that I found regarding this program is that it takes some time (about 1 minute) to start. But after it has started you won't notice that it is protecting you in the background.

Spyware is a general term used for software that performs certain behaviors such as advertising, collecting personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer, generally without appropriately obtaining your consent.
Spyware is often associated with software that displays advertisements (called adware) or software that tracks personal or sensitive information. That does not mean all software which provides ads or tracks your online activities is bad. For example, you might sign up for a free music service, but "pay" for the service by agreeing to receive targeted ads. If you understand the terms and agree to them, you may have decided that it is a fair tradeoff. You might also agree to let the company track your online activities to determine which ads to show you.Other kinds of spyware make changes to your computer that can be annoying and can cause your computer slow down or crash.
These programs can change your Web browser's home page or search page, or add additional components to your browser you don't need or want. These programs also make it very difficult for you to change your settings back to the way you originally had them.The key in all cases is whether or not you (or someone who uses your computer) understand what the software will do and have agreed to install the software on your computer.There are a number of ways spyware or other unwanted software can get on your system. A common trick is to covertly install the software during the installation of other software you want such as a music or video file sharing program.

Whenever you are installing something on your computer, make sure you carefully read all disclosures, including the license agreement and privacy statement. Sometimes the inclusion of unwanted software in a given software installation is documented, but it may appear at the end of a license agreement or privacy statement.
