When you consider the amount of valuable and
confidential personal information stored on your PC, including
credit card and banking details, private e-mails and documents,
shopping and browsing habits, the risks of having software intruders
snooping on your computer activity are obvious.
Spyware Detection software protection should be an
essential part of your protection to defend your privacy and
computing habits from prying eyes and virtual trespassers...
Spyware Detection Software - Spyware
Doctor
Did you know that when a PC is infected
with spyware that every keystroke, every website and every
conversation could be recorded or monitored by the people or
companies that may have secretly installed software on your PC. The
consequences of spyware and adware infections can include banking
and identity theft, unusual computer problems, slow Internet access,
changed browser homepage, search pages or favorites, and excessive
numbers of adware generated adverts.
Anti-virus software and firewalls DO NOT fully protect your
system against the majority of spyware and privacy threats. Because
spyware is commonly bundled with software downloads, attached to
e-mails, or transmitted through networks it can appear to be
legitimate software, but once installed it can be nearly impossible
to detect and remove without the help of a dedicated spyware removal
tool like Spyware Doctor.
"This is just awesome.
Very user friendly. Easy to install, has auto-updates. Fixed my
problems! Just love it."

Spyware Detection Software - Spyware Doctor
3.2
New Improvements In Version 3.2
1. A behavioral Keylogger Guard
(patent pending):
The advantage of behavioral protection over signature based
protection is that it is capable of detecting and stopping new
Keyloggers NOT yet known to the Signature database. Please note
that Spyware Doctor performs both behavioral and signature
based detection. Catching keyloggers is of extreme importance as
having them running on a users PC, even for few hours can cause
a significant amount of damage to the privacy of the user.
Keylogger Guard can be turned off or keyloggers can be added to
the white list if the user wishes to run a keylogger on their PC
while Spyware Doctor is operational.
2. Process
Guard:
A real time protection against a broad range of Spyware
threats.
Process Guard monitors all attempts to execute a file and if the
file is found to be malicious then Process Guard will block it
from executing. This prevents malware from running or installing
on a users PC.
3. Startup Guard:
This OnGuard function monitors all additions of files to auto
start locations such as run keys in the registry, Startup
Folders, etc. If the file is found to be malicious then Startup
Guard will remove the auto start entry. This prevents many
malicious programs from starting up each time the user boots or
logs in.
4.
Multi-browser Cookie Monitor
that supports four browsers; Mozilla FireFox, Mozilla/Netscape,
Opera and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser. Version 3.1
supported only Internet Explorer.

Experts Opinions
CNET Networks - February 2005
"With its quick scanning and multiple tools for stopping malware
before it infects your computer, Spyware Doctor is a solid spyware
remover. The well-designed interface makes getting started a breeze.
The program can perform a number of scans, including Quick Scan,
which blazes through common trouble spots such as IE cache files. We
found scan times to be faster than its competitors, with even the
Full System Scan taking under five minutes on our test machine.
Spyware Doctor displays scan results clearly, showing file and
registry locations, threat level, and a concise description of the
threat. The results seemed thorough, and Spyware Doctor had no
trouble removing what it had found.
"Spyware Doctor's advanced features include real-time protection, a
pop-up blocker, a browser monitor, and a scheduler ... A program
such as this really needs an automatic update. We really like the
spyware removal features of Spyware Doctor, and consider it one of
the most effective spyware detection software available ..."
PC World Australia February 2005 -- Spy Infection? Call the Doc!
"Spyware Doctor is an adware and spyware removal tool more akin to a
Swiss Army Knife. Yes it weeds out the likes of tracking cookies,
browser hijackers, toolbar installers, key loggers and Trojans as
you.d expect, but it also features real-time "On-Guard" protection.
This incorporates a pop-up blocker, cookie and browser monitor,
ActiveX Immunizer, Site Guard (a list of fake commerce sites) and
scheduler (great for automatic scans and live definition updates).
Tests on several PCs consistently had Spyware Doctor returning more
results than Spybot S&D - with quicker scan times. You receive some
of the best descriptions we've seen: what is found, who it's from
and what it likely does to your system (ideal in deciding whether or
not to delete an apparently malicious object). Navigating your way
around SD couldn't be more straightforward and everything always
worked as expected - although we did notice a small window
size/location bug on one particular test PC with dual displays. If
you're are serious about protection then yes, Spyware Doctor's
speed, ease of use and extra-features are worth the nominal outlay."
