    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: The Application is Safe

    Spyware Doctor is a legitimate anti-spyware program, not "scamware" that causes more problems after you install it. Professionals and reviewers alike agree that Spyware Doctor is a safe application that does what it advertises. There are no reports of this software doing anything negative to a personal computer.

    On the Other: There Are Better Products Available

    There are two main complaints about Spyware Doctor. The first is that it does not find as much malware as other similar products. The second is that it leaves traces of itself behind after uninstalling, which must be removed manually or using a cleaning application. The latter issue is minor, but the first one definitely raises red flags.

    Bottom Line

    Spyware Doctor is a safe program that does what it advertises, it just doesn't do it very well. There are better applications out there that do a much better job and are totally free. Like other software, the best thing to do is try out a few different products and find the one you like.
