Sydney, Feb. 14, 2006 - PC Magazine has once again bestowed its Editor’s Choice Award upon PC Tools for its anti-spyware product, Spyware Doctor 3.2. This is the second time that Spyware Doctor has been recognized by the publication for its superior ability to detect, block and remove spyware.
In the current round-up of nine anti-spyware applications, PC Magazine commended Spyware Doctor’s “impressive performance,” including the software’s new Exploit Guard feature that protects against security vulnerabilities, such as the recent Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) threat.
Spyware Doctor’s IntelliGuard feature proved successful in alerting PC Magazine testers when visiting potentially dangerous Websites, as well as “crumbling malicious cookies”, and killing spyware installations at launch.
“Spyware Doctor remains one of the fastest anti-spyware scanners,” said Neil Rubenking, lead analyst for PC Magazine. “During testing, Spyware Doctor blocked almost every spyware sample from installing…and detected all of the keyloggers.”
“Our team at PC Tools has done an extraordinary job of developing the most effective and trusted anti-spyware product on the market and it’s very rewarding to receive recognition once again from the industry,” said Simon Clausen, CEO, PC Tools. “As spyware and malware continue to evolve into more dangerous threats, we are committed to rapidly creating solutions to protect Windows users.”
In addition to receiving two Editors’ Choice awards, Spyware Doctor was also recognized by PC Magazine as the best anti-spyware product overall for the publication’s “Best of the Year” listing in 2005.
Spyware Doctor is available at major retail outlets including Staples, Amazon.com and CompUSA, and can also be downloaded online at http://www.pctools.com/ for purchase at $29.95 per computer install, including free support, software upgrades and smart updates for a year.
