1 Stars this program gave me virus, and downloaded a lot of dirty videos!
THE ONLY REASON IT HAS ONE STAR IS BECAUSE AMAZON WONT LET YOU GIVE IT NO STARS. I GIVE IT NO STARS!
After our adaware program expired, we decided to give this program a try. So I downloaded it to both my husband and my computer. The program loaded, updated, and scanned. After both scans were done I tried to use the internet and Itunes on my computer and they both wouldnt open and the computer said they were corrupt. My second computer was the same way, but it also downloaded 2 antivirus programs, and 100’s of dirty videos which were embeded into the desktop when I would try to remove them the video would pop back up. I had to uninstall the program from both computers and now I am usig AVAST, and Lavasoft adaware. My husbands computer still doesnt run up to par and we are going to have to have it fixed. I feel like billing PCTools the amount to fix my computers. DONT BUY NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE IT GIVES YOU DONT BELIEVE PCTOOLS WHEN THEY SAY ITS THE BEST. ITS THE WORST!
1 Stars CRAP CRAP AND MORE CRAP!!
OMG DO NOT buy this program. It will slow your computer to a crawl. There are free programs that work so much better.
And they will trick you into “auto renewing” by not telling you that it’s a default setting (this should be illegal) and won’t warn you, either. They’ll just keep sucking money out of your bank account every year, because they know that’s the only way they’ll ever get a repeat customer.
And you also cannot remove your bank account/ credit card info from your PCTools account. They keep it, giving you NO CHOICE to remove it.
CROOKS, IMO. Stay away.
1 Stars Spyware Dr. does not run on Vista
This product was great a few versions ago running on XP. However, I now run 6.0 and it takes up 70% of my memory. I have 512MB installed. Now it won’t uninstall, so I just wasted a day trying to get rid of it.
They also auto renew….what a scam.

1 Stars Effective if you don’t want to do anything else
I agree 100% with the criticisms I have seeen here. I found that, contrary to the salesman’s claims, it conflicted with Norton and completely froze my computer. When I installed it in safe mode, it worked (that is it scanned and so on), but slowed my computer’s performance to the point where it took 10 minutes just to access my home page. Since it found no problems anyway, I have removed it and will not reinstall it.
5 Stars Spyware Dr. 6 fixes most of ver. 5’s problems
I use to love spyware Dr. and as a tech for 12 years highly reccomended it for use in all my customers PCs. Then they came out with ver.5 and made it a service. If you dont know what that is , it’s more deeply ingrained in the system and can wreak havopc if not properly designed. I decided to give ver. 6 a chance as a part of google pack you can select a free updateable starter version with the background guard and just a few less important things disabled. It renewed my interest as everything is working great on it. I just wish they had a full version 15 day trial to check out the rest. I do not see it listed with the rest of windows services and this may be why the started editions working but for the processor guard they offer in the full version, there may be problems. The free full version test run will not clean out what it find , unlike the starter ver. but at least you can see if it’s going to wreak havov and have to be removed before you purchase it. For most of you the starter edition is a good way to familiarize yourself with the program. Run a full not intelligent scan the first time and if you are installing Google pack to get the freebee, make sure you uncheck or don’t check the box that enables google to scan your info.
