<pre>Spyware Doctor has been around for years, keeping PCs safe from browser hijackers, adware, keyloggers and more. But now PC Tools have taken the program even further by adding a powerful antivirus engine, ensuring it can handle the full range of threats that you might find online.
The protection starts with an on-demand scanning system, that can examine your PC whenever you like. By default this will run an Intelli-Scan, which allows the program to examine running applications, startup files and other locations where infections are commonly found. It's a good start, and runs surprisingly quickly, taking only around five minutes to complete on our test PC.
It's also possible to run the more thorough Full Scan, though, or you might choose the Custom Scan to search specific locations only. These can take much longer, but there's always the Scheduler, which can be set up to run scans automatically when you're not around.
You also get real-time protection against malware through a feature called OnGuard. There's a File Guard, for instance, that monitors your PC constantly and prevents any malicious files from being accessed. This includes attempts to open unsafe attachments in Outlook and other email clients. The program also includes Immunizer Guard, a module that blocks known dangerous ActiveX-based threats from running on your PC.
Best of all, though, is the complete lack of an expiration date. PC Tools Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus Starter Edition isn't going to die after three months, then demand cash before it'll get back to work. It's entirely free, updates too, and so you can go on using it for just as long as you need.
