Spyware Research

This may be the #1 reason why we would recommend buying this software over a free spyware utility. PC Tools runs an active and highly-specialized research lab, known as the Malware Research Centre, which is devoted to researching and identifying new spyware and malware infections for inclusion into our comprehensive anti-spyware database, which forms the 'brains' behind Spyware Doctor. It is tough for a free utility to do the amount of research and identify the number of threats that spyware doctor does.
