[hello2007]

what are your experiences with it?

Would never install it any where. I did a test a few years back on a completly clean pc, new install, and it reported infections.

hmmmm, this is the reason why i asked. I installed it on my computer and the performance of my computer hasn't been as good since. It does report more detections though than any other program i used but these detections might be you know whats

I tried it out last year, I think from the Google Pack or perhaps something else. I ended up having to go into Safe Mode to uninstall it though, it made my computer run so slow.

Haven't used it in ages, last time i ha it it was a "free for a year" deal on a pc mag cd.

and that was before the googlepack version, i think it was regarded better then.

i think a common misbelief people have about spyware doctor is that its just a anti-malware prog but its also a anti-virus prog so if you have a anti-virus on your comp running it will really slow down your computer, very incompatible it is with anti-virus progs. Even if you install the version without anti-virus it will still conflict with your other anti-virus so if your going to give it a try you'll need to disable your current anti-virus

That sums it all up!

 

And when I previously used it I did have my AV disabled, but still it didn't make my PC all too happy.
