  Just Fabbo!

  Pros: To begin with the options are very easy to grasp, i like the way you get 3 types of scans, the "intelli-scan" is class, grabs those little nasty cookies no bother. I like the way you can go to "settings/scheduled tasks" and decide when you want an automated scan to start, very simple! It doesn't hog the system as like before, the updates also you have different options. My kids play games a lot and it picks up those little hackers trying to jump on my IE7 browser. All in all just great!

  Cons: Well if you want the "Free" version you need to install the Google updater, bit of a pain but hey ho. Also in the Free version the "on guard protection" is limited, but hey it's Free so can't have all ways can we? But on a tiny sour note, my AVG Free antispyware grabbed a few nasty cookies this missed, not a problem as i clean my tracks with Ccleaner when i'm done anyway!

  Spyware Doctor Starter Edition

  Stay with the version 5.0 of the Google Pack

  by: EconomistBR on 10-Jul-2008 03:21:57 PM

  Pros: The Version 5.0 is better than this, so much so I unistalled the version 5.5 and REinstalled the version 5.0 which comes with the Google Pack.

  Spyware Doctor Starter Edition 5.0 continues to be a solid program, IMO.

  Cons: This version for some reason had the OnGuard Protection disabled all the time, which was a big loss. The Computer Immunazation was OFF all the time as well.

  So stick with the version 5.0 of the Google Pack.
