Summary: Don't even load the free scan!!!
Comment: I was getting intermittent spyware warnings and decided to try this software out first, by downloading the free scan. What a mistake!
I ran the scan it and it gave me a list of various warnings, etc. Then,
after each time the message came up that it was running in the backround,
my computer would hang and then reboot itself. This kept happening over
and over. Every time I tried to get to the Control Panel to remove
this program, it would reboot before I got the chance to remove it.
Quite frustrating, to say the least! I thought I was going to have to re-install the operating system. Finally,I lucked out. My computer stayed up long enough one time, and I was able to do a system restore from the system tools. I restored it to the day before and the system rebooted without anymore problems. This spyware is so bad, it acted like a virus just by itself. After all this happened, I then saw everyone's reviews on Amazon, which confirmed the problem I had was this software. If you have
not tried this spyware package yet, don't even load it to do the free scan. You'll probably regret you did!!!

Summary: Bad, bad, bad!
Comment: I can confirm the views of the majority of other reviewers here. This software takes over so much of my computers resources that it can't handle anything else other than run Spyware Doctor. Save your money, do not buy this dreadful piece of software.
I have reverted back to my old favourite - Spybot Search and Destroy. It's free and works much better than this thing does - if you want to download it, be very careful to get the right software, there are a couple of clone pieces out there which mimic Spybot S&D. These load your machine up with spyware.

Summary: A Rip Off
Comment: Worked OK for a while, then unregistered itself and would not take the license code I received from PC Tools. Submitted three help requests to PC Tools, all of which were ignored.

Summary: spyware doctor reviews
Comment: I purchased Spyware Doctor about two months ago and run it every
day without any spyware being detected of any name or kind.
Before buying this spyware, I researched this product and found the
reviews positive.
This has to be the worst spyware I ever purchased and spent good money for.
Do not understand why this positive review, but it is a joke!
Please save your money and do not buy this spyware!!!!!!!!

Summary: Computer LOCK-UP
Comment: Major head-on crash with other software. In the middle of a boot-up virus scan, everything locked tight. Technical assistance told me to disable all my other security functions. Spyware Doctor is such a resource hog it caused total lock-up of my system... to the point nothing worked except powering off the machine - one of those things you should do only as a last resort! Cancelling the annual subscription was easy, once I finally got through the on-line maze to Germany to cancel. There is no email address with the marketing company to contact if you have issues. I agree with another review - Zero Stars would be more appropriate.

Editorial Reviews:

Don't trust your spyware protection to just anyone. Spyware Doctor has consistently been awarded Editors' Choice, by leading PC magazines and testing laboratories around the world, including United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany and Australia. Did you know that many programs tested against Spyware Doctor detected only a small fraction of Spyware and only completely removed an even smaller amount? Also most of them were unable to effectively block Spyware in real time from being installed on users PC in the first place. Spyware Doctor's advanced OnGuard technology only alerts you on a true Spyware detection. You should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you install software, add a site to your favorites or change your PC settings. Such messages can be confusing and may result in undesirable outcomes such as program errors, lost favorites or even spyware being allowed to install on the system.
