Version: Spyware Doctor 3.1
Pros: SCANS FAST ,AND FINDS AND REMOVES ALOT OF SPYWARE, ADWARE,AND MALWARE. ALSO BLOCKS MOST COOKIES. GUARDS YOUR PC 24/7 IN THE SYSTEM TRAY.
Cons: I'VE USED SPYWARE DOCTOR FOR SIX MONTHS WITH GREAT RESULTS.BUT RECENTLY SWITCHED MY ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM FROM NORTON TO MCAFEE. NOW EVERY TIME I START SPYWARE DOCTOR, MCAFEE POPS UP WITH "SUSPICIOUS SCRIPT, ALOW THIS TIME, OR NEVER?" ARE THESE TWO PROGRAMS FEUDING ,OR WHAT? ANY ONE OUT THERE KNOW WHY? OTHER THAN THAT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPYWARE DOCTOR FOR A SAFE AND SECURE PC.

Cons: Unfortunately, this is a limited function evaluation version. If the evaluation version had more functions, I feel that I would have been able to rate it higher.

Version: Spyware Doctor 3.1
Summary: There's a lot of confusion in the user opinions between Spyware Doctor and Spy Doctor. This app, Spyware Doctor, is a legitimate application; Spy Doctor, on the other hand is a scam.
