This is day one of my trial. My initial thoughts are:

1. My machine seems crisper now. Don't know if it is my imagination, but my machine seems to run better with this product than SpySweeper.

2. Spyware doctor scans much faster. The scan that took Spysweeper 22 minutes, took Spyware Doctor 10.

3. The scan also found 49 threats that SpySweeper did not. However, this is misleading. It found 3 files and 46 registry entries all from the same keystroke logger that I deliberately installed. So it was really like one infection rather than 49. Still, Spysweeper missed this.

So far so good. Will revise this as my trial continues.

Update...I have noticed that it takes SD a very long time to show up in the system tray on reboot. My AV and Firewall have long shown up and SD is nowhere to be found. Adds about a minute to my start up time.

Is this normal?
