Spyware Doctor is a spyware remover that protects your PC against spyware, adware, keyloggers, spybots, adbots, phishing attacks, malware, Trojan horses. The "Smart update" option allows downloading the list of available updates of the program.

OnGuard is a special tool that monitors and blocks spyware, virus and other malicious attacks in real time. You can switch it on or off. It has separate settings, where you can adjust all properties concerning browser guide, cookie guard, file guard, immunizer guard, keylogger guard, network guard, process guard and startup guard.

The speed of scanning PC for threats is quite high, and the program is easy in use.

The thing that disappoints at the end of testing of the trial version is that after scanning you cannot remove major detected threats. To do this, you need to buy the full version with the AntiVirus tool, which means that we cannot see the program in full work and estimate the trial version's ability to deal with threats. However, we were pleased to see that the scanning results provide us with not only the level of risk of the threats, but also the information about them available in the infection database of the PC Tools site.

The interface of the program is simple and user-friendly even for novices.
