Spyware Doctor 5.5.1.322Detects, removes and blocks all types of Spyware.
Did you know that numerous programs tested against Spyware Doctor detected only small fraction of Spyware and 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 has the most advanced update feature that continually improves its Spyware fighting capabilities on daily basis. As Spyware gets more complex to avoid detection by AntiSpyware programs Spyware Doctor responds with new technology to stay one step ahead.
 
Easiest to Use
Spyware Doctor is advanced technology designed especially for people, not just experts. That is one reason why it won the People's Choice Award in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It is automatically configured out of the box to give you optimal protection with limited interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.

Spyware Doctor's advanced OnGuard technology only alerts users on a true Spyware detection. This is significant because 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 lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favorites or even Spyware being allowed to install on the system. We've done the research so you don't have to.
 

What's News?

Spyware Doctor mainImproved protection capabilities:
We are continually improving our protection capabilities and with Spyware Doctor 5.5.1 we have once again increased the rate of detection & removal by seamlessly combining our anti-virus technology with our anti-spyware technology. This enhanced integration of technologies means that the Spyware Doctor detection and removal capabilities are further enhanced for both viruses1 and spyware, in particular rootkits (the nastiest threats that elude user detection).

Better handling of spyware using virus-like techniques:
Hackers are now merging spyware with virus techniques to produce even more nefarious threats. Spyware Doctor 5.5.1 comes equipped with technology to better handle threats which use virus-type techniques, with the end result being better protection against a wider range of threats.

Less alerts, greater control:
Spyware Doctor's alert system has been revised to reduce the frequency of alerts experienced when surfing the Internet.

Repeated alerts when blocking the same threat have been eliminated, and new options have been added to provide greater flexibility and control when deciding to block or allow a cookie, website or threat. There is also a "remember my answer" option which, if selected, means that you will never have to see the same alert again. User input for the alerts is optional and the default action for each particular alert-type is taken if you choose not to respond.

Behavior Guard – BETA add-on:
Behavior Guard provides leading edge protection from zero-day (never seen before) threats, built on the award-winning ThreatFire technology.

Behavior Guard is designed to pro-actively defend your computer against both known and unknown threats solely by detecting their malicious behavior. Traditional antivirus software cannot do this and only offers reactive protection, meaning it can only protect you from new threats after the threat has been discovered and new signatures to protect against it are developed, tested, and then released for download. Behavior Guard does not rely on signatures to protect you; instead, it uses intelligent behavioral analysis to proactively hunt down and paralyze activities or behaviors that might compromise the security of your computer.
 

Features

Spyware Doctor resulComprehensive Malware Protection
Spyware Doctor provides protection against identity theft, stealthy spyware, aggressive adware, browser hijackers, malicious ActiveX objects, malware Trojans, tracking cookies, keyloggers, dialers, and other malware. The optional anti-virus module also protects your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horse threats, and other malicious infections.

Constant Real-time Protection
Through its unique OnGuard feature Spyware Doctor provides constant protection against malware. OnGuard works by blocking both known and unknown malware threats before they can install and cause any harm to a computer. OnGuard constantly monitors for malicious behavior involving spyware processes, tracking cookies, malicious ActiveX objects, browser hijackers, keyloggers, Trojans and more.
 
Advanced Detection and Removal Technology
By running an Intelli-Scan™, Full Scan or Custom Scan, Spyware Doctor will inspect the computer for all types of spyware and virus1 infections. Spyware Doctor is top rated by industry experts as being extremely effective in removing particularly nefarious threats such as rootkits and keyloggers2.

The unique Intelli-Scan™ feature is specifically designed to hunt swiftly and kill active running spyware threats in as little as 3 minutes3, attributed to the intuitive and patent-pending spider scanning technology. This new technology works intelligently by using a combination of signature and behavioral scanning techniques to quickly and effectively identify internet threats.
 
Protection against zero-day threats - Behavioral Heuristic Detection
Spyware Doctor delivers effective zero day protection against rootkits and keyloggers (in both scanning and OnGuard real-time areas) by monitoring for suspicious behavior and blocking applications that exhibit signs of malicious activity.
 
Advanced Rootkit Detection
Spyware Doctor is capable of detecting and removing hidden processes and files associated with complex threats and rootkits. Using behavioral techniques, rootkits and other items that attempt to hide themselves deep in the computer operating system are effectively detected and removed.
 
Works silently in the background with low CPU usage
When in monitoring mode Spyware Doctor has been designed to work silently in the background, with little impact to the end user, threats are blocked and removed without any system impact, while only a small alert window is displayed to advise the user it has been protected against an attack. When running a scan, the CPU Priority settings allow users to lower the priority of the scanning in order to reduce CPU usage and impact to the computer while in use. Selecting this option may increase scan time but will ease CPU usage when other applications are running at the same time.
 
Automatic and silent Smart Updates
Frequent updates to detect and guard computers against new threats and viruses as well as provide enhancements to Spyware Doctor are automatically installed and downloaded through the Smart Update function. Threat signatures are updated every business day or within hours of a high risk malware outbreak to protect you from the latest online threats.
 

Additional Add-ons 

Virus Protection
      Available as an optional add-on to Spyware Doctor, the anti-virus component provides protection against all kinds of viruses, worms, Trojan horse threats, and other malicious infections to ensure complete protection against internet threats. It is recommended to install the anti-virus add-on if there is no other virus protection on the computer.

Email Protection
      Email Guard provides protection against, and instantly removes, spyware and viruses being sent or received via e-mails. All popular e-mail applications (such as Outlook Express™ & Netscape® Mail and Thunderbird) that use POP, IMAP or SMTP are supported by Email Guard.

Internet Browsing Protection
      Site Guard provides advanced protection against potential malicious websites and phishing attacks where dangerous site are masquerading as legitimate e-Commerce sites. Site Guard will detect malicious websites and block access to them, ensuring the computer cannot be infected.

i have been a user of spyware doctor for a few year now and i have to agree it is the best out there , i have tried other products that are meant to be highly rated on other sites but honestly i always revert back to spyware doctor if your on the market for more than just a spyware remover but peace of mind too then look no further or at least try the trial you will be surprised what it may find that others have missed and learn how simple this program is and once setup correctly to auto scan and update you never have to worry about a thing and if something does require your attention it will immediatly let you know , if your running a laptop/pc 32 or 64 bit this is definatly the right choice as it works on all versions of vista aswell as xp. Many people prefer free alternatives but in this case you definatly get what you pay for ., my motto is never skimp out on security $29.99 is money well spent plus when your 12 month liscence code is almost up you get a discount coupon off your next purchase 10/10 highly recomend smilies/smiley.gif

I can tell to you about the quality of this spyware doctor software. Personally, I'm using this software too,but it's starter edition. It's a good spyware removal program. Why? because some spywares could be detected by spyware doctor, but when i used other spyware removal programs, those spywares couldn't be detected. Spyware doctor provides more advanced features and advanced protections for PC. It has up to date database signatures. It's quick good.

This found some spyware that the other programs didn't, and I'm not talking about cookies or other useless finds.
