This program is a real disappointment for me. I love Registry Mechanic, but Spyware Doctor seems to have some conflicts with the other applications on my machine... even with the active components turned off. It also seems to think that some of my MVPS Hosts files are hijacked. Yes, they are hijacked by me! You would think that this would be obvious.

I won't be purchasing this one. I've had much better results from Spybot S&D, AdAware, and SuperAntispyware. Even the Comcast Toolbar spy scan has found more legitimate issues.

I didn't try the active scan component so I can't speak for its reliability.

Spyware Doctor

My Score:


I have used PC Tools products for just over a year. After I renewed is when the problems started. I couldn''t access my email anymore! I had to uninstall the new Spyware Doctor version and then download it all over again. I can now access my email, but my monitor/display has gone gray - it''s like looking at my computer screen through a light gray veil. PC Tools has been supportive and have asked me to send them a screen shot to look at the monitor problem that started after my renewal. I liked the product a lot more before I renewed!
