PC World's latest annual anti-spyware round-up, to be published in the October print issue of the magazine, names Spyware DoctorTM 5.0 winner of the prestigious PC World Best Buy award.
PC World says Spyware Doctor: "...finished far ahead of its competitors in formal tests independently conducted by research company AV-Test.org."
Tested against five highly recognized competitors, Spyware Doctor 5.0 comprehensively outperforms and ranks number one, with an overall PC World performance rating of "Superior."
In the independent test, AV-Test.org lab finds Spyware Doctor to detect 100 percent of active adware samples and achieves a high score for real-time behavioral based detection. Furthermore, Spyware Doctor 5.0 shows no false positives1.
PC World praises Spyware Doctor's user-friendly set-and-forget approach saying its "…well-designed program (is) a breeze to install. Three big buttons let you scan your PC for threats, clean up and [sic] any problems the software finds, and activate real-time threat detection..."
Spyware Doctor 5.0 also impresses PC World as the only one of the six competitors with anti-phishing protection and favors PC Tools' around-the-clock US toll-free telephone, email and web-based support.
"We are particularly pleased with PC World's results and expert opinion. The review validates PC Tools' efforts to successfully re-engineer Spyware Doctor to meet next generation spyware and adware threats," says Simon Clausen, Chief Executive Officer of PC Tools.
