Title: Spyware Doctor Starter Edition information
Post by: Northeast on June 23, 2009, 02:16:28 PM

Hi, has anyone use spyware doctor starter free edition. I just want to know it people has used it and does it pick up any other spyware or malware where other programs like superantispyware, malwarebytes or spybots have missed because I was thinking of installing this program and uninstalling spybots. Is spyware doctor a better program than spybots. I have other spyware products like superantispyware and malwarebytes and a squared and thinking of putting this program in and getting rid of spybots.

So what are your opinion on using this program.

thanks

It's better than Spybot in my opinion. Signatures are updated more frequently.
But, also, it gives you more false positives and the impression it's doing its work better than the reality.
I don't think it would be necessary if you have MBAM and Super on-demand and avast as resident.
