PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006 Review

PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006
Average Reviews:

I disagree with the argument that this is not an improvement over the 2005 version.
First of all, you have to purchase the newer edition to continue to receive updates from Trend Micro or any other InterNet Security program.
Second, I think the interface of the 2006 version is much improved over the 2005 version, which I replaced. With more options such as Anti Phishing protection, I feel the 2006 edition is easier to navigate than the 2005 edition.
Third, Trend Micro continues to be one of the best Internet Security products on the market. Before TM, I used McAfee, which crashed my old computer at the time (3 years ago). I also used Norton 2003, it was better than McAfee, but I noticed significant slow down in the performance of my computer. I am using 2.4 Gig Dell with 1 Gig RAM, it is 3 years old and Trend Micro runs smoothly in the back ground. The slow down is practically insignificant.
In short, I love the program and will continue to upgrade with it for years to come. I hope this helps.

Norton AntiVirus 2003 Review

Norton AntiVirus 2003
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Norton Antivirus 2003 is full of bugs. Unless you want a bunch of headaches stick with the proven version 2002. Norton Antivirus is still a much better product than McAfees (I experienced problems with them from the beginning, but never had problems with Norton 2001 or 2002.) Their rush to get a new product out by the new year has them releasing a poor product...perhaps they should simply name the product version6.whatever instead of by the year so they don't have to rush something that is clearly not ready to be placed out on the market yet!

PC Tools Spyware Doctor 2007 Review

PC Tools Spyware Doctor 2007
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used Spyware Doctor since version 3 -- almost three years now. I liked the interface and simplicity -- and the power. But as others have pointed out, including industry reviews, version 4.x was a HUGE drain on system resources. My PC's would take anywhere from 5-9 minutes to completely boot up, with Spyware Doctor using almost 100% CPU the whole time. Also, my computers would frequently "freeze," which turned out to be Spyware Doctor randomly zooming to 95-100% CPU for no reason at all.
But with version 5, things are so much worse. About 3 weeks ago, my PC's lost their ability to connect to the Internet. Browsing slowed to a crawl, with frequent timeouts and "server not found". I spent days on the phone with my cable company, and my router's manufacturer, trying to troubleshoot. I re-configured my entire home network over and over. I never made the connection between the onset of problems and my updating to SD5. It was only after finding the PCTools support forums that I realized the problem was Spyware Doctor.
I removed the program from my PC's -- and the problems were gone. I had full Internet connection and full speed again.
Spyware Doctor 5 is causing massive problems for users. PCTools rewrote the program from the ground up, the company says, to improve the resource drain caused by version 4. But apparently it was rushed to market even though beta testers reported many of these same problems for weeks.
I've uninstalled this software and am basically wasting my subscription and losing money. Other users are right -- PCTools does indeed "auto-renew" and charge your credit card without warning. This is a huge red flag. I lost hours, DAYS, dealing with the problems caused by this program. Many users have had to reinstall Windows completely.
It's easy to get caught up in the hyperbole and negative reviews. But don't just take these at face value -- read the Spyware Doctor forum at PCTools' website. These problems are real. And it doesn't look like they're going to be addressable anytime soon. They've issued a couple of version updates, even removed several of the program's protection "Guards", but these haven't fixed the problems. And they're not giving any kind of timeline or explanations to users.
My advice -- stay away for now. But keep up with the forums at PCTools' website. When they finally get the issues resolved, this should be a really strong spyware program.
* PCTools has also been criticized for offering a "Free spyware scan" on their website (actually a download of SD), which will find spyware on your system but refuse to remove it until you buy a subscription to Spyware Doctor. This kind of sleazy bullying isn't normally characteristic of reputable companies -- most will give you an actual free trial with functioning software.

PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2010 Review

PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2010
Average Reviews:

I'm sure this software is effective -- in fact in initial scans it caught lots of adware that Webroot Spysweeper never did -- but it's such a resource hog that my entire PC now works very slowly. Apps open more slowly, and IE7 also barely moves. I disabled a couple of the guards and that helped, but of course then it leaves me more vulnerable. In addition, an e-mail to Support 2 weeks ago still has not been answered. This was highly rated by some PC magazines, but overall I'm very disappointed.

This Defender Pro is itself really a virus. Just try to remove it. The company won't help you. It makes your PC run miserably slow and probably doesn't actually detect viruses. Don't infect your computer with it!

Whether you have just bought a new PC (or already have one), don't dare visit the Internet without first installing new Internet Security software. Amidst the wonderful worlds of the web, there are vile, criminals lurking and ready to pounce and steal your personal data or even your computer itself. Most new PC models that you purchase come with a limited protection period (usually about 60 days) and virtually every Internet Security software product available expires within 12 months. If you're in need of protection, get Defender Pro 5-in-1 2009 Internet Security Software.

Pc Tools Spyware Doctor/Antivirus 2011 - 1 User/3 Pc Review

Pc Tools Spyware Doctor/Antivirus 2011 - 1 User/3 Pc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been a customer of this product for over a year now and was completely
satisfied until I upgraded to the 2011 version 8.0.0.623. When I upgraded my
computer went downhill fast. My browsers started becoming sluggish and going to
not responding. Other programs would go unresponsive as well causing my system
to hang numerous times. My sleep mode would constantly be interrupted due to
slow responses of servicing hardware. I could not update my browsers or other
software when needed without getting download errors and when it did download
and I had to restart my computer it would not shutdown properly. I have had to
use the power button numerous times just to shut down my system and restart.
When Spyware Doctor would update automatically and the notification message
would appear my product had been updated the message would not go away. When I
clicked on the message it would hang up my system. I tried updating manually but
when I did it would give me error messages and cause another system hang up.
Thinking I had a virus on my system I contacted HP and had them scan my computer
with there intensive scanner for virus, worms, Trojans spyware and malware and
etc. HP did not find anything but however they did notice that Spyware Doctor was
eating my system resources alive. Now I have no run of the mill computer. I have
a Intel Quad Core processor at 3.00Ghz with 16 Gigs of memory. I am no gamer and
I do not have any software installed except for what I need to do my office work
at home. I am a retired computer programmer and analyst from Duke Med Center so
I know computers. HP suggested I uninstall this product and that was a
nightmare. When I thought I had uninstalled this product and went to restart my
system to complete the uninstall process it locked up my system. After shutting
down my computer with the power button and rebooted I could not access Windows.
I had to use my Repair Disk and do a system restore to get into Windows. I then
reinstalled this product and uninstalled it again and then it finally worked. I
then used CCLEANER to get rid of all the junk registry this product left behind.
I also noticed that after I uninstalled Spyware Doctor it left my hard disk 12%
fragmented which I had to defragment. I then wrote a program to seek out and
delete any files left linked to your product. I have installed Norton Internet
Security 2011 and I am more than happy now. Norton uses very little system
resources and gives me complete protection and peace of mind. My computer is now
running better and faster than it ever has without your Spyware Doctor
installed. Your product needs to go back to the developers. I would suggest that
this company needs to read the reviews about this product at CNET, PC Mag and
other notable computer sites and you will be surprised how much trouble this
product is causing. I have stopped my automatic renewal of this product and
asked for a refund because this product has caused me so much trouble. Spyware Doctor
acts like a virus that it is suppose to protect my system from. Stay away from this software.
