Summary

Excellent
Performed Best Overall. Our test PC ran amazingly fast and stable after using Spyware Doctor.

Very Good
A really good tool and is gaining in popularity. Removed almost all of the known spyware & adware.

Good
Very easy-to-use, but didn't detect as many spyware as our top two spyware removers.

Good
Overall a good solid spyware remover, but did not find some of the more critical spyware.

OK
Solid product, but not the easiest spyware remover to use. Great for the non-technical minded.
