Sould I install spyware doctor on my pc?


I allready have AVG security is it a good idea to install the spyware dr as well

AVG is what my company uses, and they say it's pretty good all by itself for catching viruses, but Spyware Doctor is focused on spyware, malware, and adware so I feel it's worthwhile to install it.

You can always install it, run the free system scan, and then if it finds anything you'll know that AVG missed something, and you'll know that Spyware Doctor is better. If it doesn't find anything, then stick with just AVG.

Personally, I found Spyware Doctor to be better than Norton or McAfee (my story linked below), but again... like AVG those programs are focused on viruses not spyware and maleware.

yes, spyware doctor is the best - i use it religiously

I wouldn't
I prefer adaware or spybot.

It's good but not the best. Install this, it's the best (at least for me it is):

Spyware Doctor is part of the Google Pack... (and you can also get Norton anti-virus with it, but I do not suggest you use Norton - it will slow down and mess with your system).

Windows Defender from Microsoft...

Believe it or not I suggest you stick with your basic Windows Firewall, it is quite sufficient!
But if you have to have a different Firewall... Try one of these...

And finally... make sure you have ALL the latest Windows updates!

First make sure they are compatible. Some systems can be
very stubborn. If you have trouble installing the doctor, shut AVG down for fifteen minutes, while you install doc. Always buy virus and spyware in the same package. LUCK

yes, its protect your computer. I am using spyware Terminator, its real time Spyware.
