Virus Blocking: In our testing Spyware Doctor with Antivirus was able to remove all the in the wild viruses that we put it up against.  We test all anti virus clients against a growing list of viruses in our collection and combine them with threats that RemoveVirus.org has found in the wild. A nice little bonus is the browser defender that comes with Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2011.  It automatically blocks known malicious websites so a virus does not even have a chance at trying to infect your computer.

Virus Removal: It's one thing to be able to block virus threats.  It's another to be able to remove viruses from computers.  We infected 3 computers with several of the more common rogue security clients.  In every case Spyware Doctor with Antivirus was able to remove those false security clients.  We should note that we did run the scans in safe mode because these rogue clients did block SDA from running.

Performance Usage:  It's vital to know how much slower a security product is going to make your computer.  All security clients use system resources.  However, there are programs out there that take a whole lot of juice.  Here are the testing results of Spyware Doctor 2011 based on several usages from 3 different computers.
While Scanning: 168 MB on average.
Idle : 20MB.  This is a very good overall speed and proves the 2011 SDA client will not put a big stain on your computer Performance.
