I wouldn't even spend 1 cent on it. The last time I used it which wasn't all that long ago it caused more issues than it tried to protect against, so as much that a malware infection would have been preferable.

What sort of issues? Spyware Doctor has probably won more awards and had more reviews than any other anti-malware program I know. No problems here

Spyware Doctor is a piece of junk that wont even remove the most basic infections out there.

Even if they were paying me $25 to use it, I still wouldn't


MBAM is so far ahead of Spyware Doctor that its like comparing a rock to an orange as a piece of food.

I am afraid that you are flogging a dead horse here coathanger.

Doubt if those who hang around here will be using Spyware Doctor anytime soon.

Ok I split these posts from the other topic. No need to have stuff showing up from 3 years ago.

Spyware Doctor is pretty bloated and the latest versions have caused all kinds of issues. Just take a look through their forums to see what I'm talking about.
