Description
If your antispyware program detects only a small fraction of actual threats leaving your PC prone to attacks, you'd better take a closer look at PC Tools Spyware Doctor.
Multiple tests conducted by independent antivirus testing labs have proven that Spyware Doctor is amongst the most efficient tools in spyware removal, while being fast and utilizing only a fraction of resources other antispyware tools do.
PC Tools Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus blocks spyware in real time, constantly monitoring behavior of the processes running, contents of the files downloaded and websites visited. Spyware Doctor uses the IntelliGuard™ technology that attempts to conduct threat removal in a fully automated way, without bugging you with cryptic security questions every time a new file is downloaded or software is installed. The IntelliGuard facility configures your system to achieve the optimal balance between speed and security and performs its routine checks in the background while you work.
The IntelliGuard delivers constant real-time protection by scanning all processes run and monitoring network activity that may turn out harmful. It effectively blocks all attempts of keystroke logging, browser session hijacking, rogueware smuggled via ActiveX objects, Trojan horses and tracking cookies.
PC Tools Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus is build on a modular architecture combining various detection methods to effectively tackle virus and spyware infections. One of the detection methods Spyware Doctor relies on is the ThreatFire™ Behavioral Intelligence, that scans applications' behavior to determine whether they are safe or not. This method of detecting viruses is far more reliable than the traditional definition-based detection mode, especially in discovering newly emerging threats that haven't yet been examined by security engineers at the research labs.
Moreover, Spyware Doctor offers safe Web browsing experience by delivering multi-layered browsing protection. Web browsing protection included in Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus safeguards you from phishing attacks, drive-by-downloads and scare tactics designed to hijack your online banking password or credit card number.
The Site Guard feature checks whether the site you are viewing is safe and genuine, Browser Guard prevents drive-by downloads and Cookie Guard clean sweeps tracking cookies some websites leave in your browser's cache.
This antispyware / antivirus software utilizes the Smart Update technology, silently downloading and applying virus definition and program updates as they are released. Other new additions are the Gaming Mode that suppresses alerts while you are gaming or watching movies, the Power Saving Mode that suspends energy-consuming tasks while your laptop is running on battery and the Idle Mode that runs disk-intensive checks while you're away from your computer to not slow down your work.
