Review: Spyware Doctor 3.5 for Windows By Jack M. Germain April 13, 2006 9:40AM     Spyware Doctor 3.5 features an innovative Kernel Delete feature that gives the antispyware detection module new ways to remove rootkits and other complex malware that fights to stay hidden or resurrects itself on reboot.   Related Topics Spyware Antivirus Malware Keylogging Latest News Plasma-TV Ban Could Be Costly Barnes & Noble Nook Is Delayed Flat PC Shipments Hurt Dell's Stock Ballmer Says Windows 7 Sales Good New Pogoplug 'Cloud' Gets Social (Page 2 of 2) Another potential annoyance: frequent, essential updates to the program do not download automatically to your PC -- you must give your OK before downloading and then click to install the updates yourself. Overall, Spyware Doctor 3.5 keeps a tight rein on its signature database to control false positives. This factor alone puts it a big step ahead of similar products. The Verdict Spyware Doctor 3.5 is a solid choice to protect your PC from unwanted malware. It provides very good real-time monitoring for new intrusions and relatively good detection and removal results. If rootkits and other super baddies worry you, Spyware Doctor 3.5 will take those cares away. Spyware Doctor 3.5 for Windows Minimum requirements: Windows XP, Me, 98, and 2000; Internet Explorer. Pros: Simple and intuitive interface; few false positives; very good detection and removal results. Cons: No spyware removal feature in trial version; pop-up blocker only works in Explorer; updates aren't fully automatic. Verdict: A very good choice for consumers who want set-it-and-forget-it protection.
