Spyware Doctor 4  

 

סריקת המחשב לאיתור רוגלות ורכיבים לא רצויים אחרים. כבר בהפעלתה הראשונית, תתבצע סריקה אוטומטית של המחשב למציאת רכיבי ריגול ושאר מזיקים. התוכנה כוללת מספר עזרים שיסייעו לכם להגן על המחשב בזמן אמת מפני חוטפי דפדפנים, רכיבי Avtive-X לא מוכרים, עוגיות (cookies) ועוד. קיימת אפשרות להעביר את הרכיבים שנמצאו להסגר במקום להסירם לחלוטין, וזאת על מנת לאפשר את שיחזורם, במידה ויש צורך בכך (תוכנות מסויימות לא יפעלו ללא הרכיבים שאולי הוסרו). גירסה זו הינה חינמית, אך אפשרויות מתקדמות נוטרלו (קיימות בגירסה בתשלום).

Spyware Doctor is a spyware removal product for Microsoft Windows developed by PC Tools. It scans a PC for spyware, examining files on the hard drive, objects in memory, the Windows registry and cookies, and then attempts to quarantine or remove recognized threats. It also includes real-time protection which attempts to block threats from being saved to the disk, set to startup automatically, suspicious programs running and other detection including new toolbars and add-ons for web browsers.^{[citation needed]} It is normally purchased as a yearly subscription which includes new versions and updates, and is available online as well as in retail stores. PC Tools, like other security companies such as McAfee, Symantec and recently Microsoft with OneCare, has now implemented an automatic renewal system whereby customer's subscriptions are renewed every year automatically until cancelled.

Spyware Doctor is not free, but a free scan version is offered, providing real-time protection and scans for spyware, but only the full version is capable of removing spyware. An alternative to removing the spyware is to use the free version to find where the spyware is located and then manually remove it. The spyware often contains both files located on the hard drive and entries in the Windows registry.

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition was included in the Google Pack in March 2007, this version allows scan and removal of threats, limited real-time protection, and full updates for free.

Spyware Doctor is designed for Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32-bit editions, it will not install on 64-bit operating systems.
