What: Is SpywareDoctor legit or not?

I had a virus on my computer. I tried everything, nothing worked. I tried SpywareDoctor, and it seemed pretty much like Rogue program, aka, a total scam. My grandmother has that on her computer, the paid version. She is on her computer 3-5 hours a day. She says it finds one trojan every single day! I think this is crap. Is this program really legit, or is it a scam? (Note: I am on the computer 6-10 hours a day for school and work, and get one virus every 2, maybe 3 months and I download a LOT!) I need your personal opinion or something you read. Do NOT tell me something to download. I know what to download, please just tell me if this SpywareDoctor is a scam or not! Thankss!

Answer #3

not really its ok but it is a trail sofeware so it doesnt work to its fullist unless you buys it. check the reviews at cnet.com under downloads. you can find better software there and more information on how good they work. also non of the software there has spyware or viruses. this reviews taken from pc world.com Not all reviews have been positive and early versions of Spyware Doctor 5.0, which the company rewrote from scratch, received some negative commentary.[9] CNET’s Download.com reviews, justifies the 3-star rating by saying, “in our trial scans, Spyware Doctor repeatedly flagged several dozen harmless cookies as potential threats, more than any other antispyware product we tested. We were also unable to learn more about each threat or why Spyware Doctor flagged each.”
