Consumer Feedback And Complaints
Actual Customer Feedback:
"...My computer is healed. Norton wanted to charge me $99.99 to take over my computer and fix it remotely. Spyware doctor found the problem, but couldn't fix it. I sent them my scan history, they were already working on a fix for the problem, and within 24 hours from there my virus was gone..."

"...I've never had any problems with the program. I use Vista Premium. I live in Canada and found PC Tools very helpful. They even helped me switch my licence from their Registry tools to Spyware Doctor because I didn't need the Registry Tools I had purchased. I recommend the program..."

"...If you'd like your very fast computer not to be fast anymore, this is the one for you. I have no doubt that the computer mag review was right that it does a great job of scanning and catching things, but it's just not worth running on your system. Maybe only if you disable the active guard system and only use it to scan, like overnight, would it be worth it..."

Tech support while they get back to you promptly and give you a ticket number once you send them the scteen shots showing the problen you never hear from them again and problem not solved. with on guard running programs load like paint drying..."

"...Spyware Doctor isn’t prone to crashing…much. It does slow down startup because it starts working simultaneously with Windows, but – with me, anyway – it opens when I click on its shortcut and scans when and how I want it to. It removes cookies and other infections fairly fast…unless it freezes and locks up the system, which it does every so often. Sometimes it’ll do it in mid-scan…sometimes it’ll do it after the scan has been completed and it is removing the cookies and other spyware..."

"...this version, 6.0.0.362 is a resource hog! When booting computer, it takes 119mb of RAM and 97% CPU for a few minutes when starting up!!! So, basically, you have to wait for it to free up resources befor you can use your computer. Otherwise, doing things will be very slow. I am sure previous versions were better. But it seems the norm of software makers to "make improvements" when may improve the functionality of the program, at the expense of your computer usage..."
