SpyZooka review

SpyZooka is a popular anti-spyware application produced by Blue Penguin software. The program has been around for a while and has always been known as a decent spyware remover. The earlier versions, however, were not recommended due to serious stability issues, but this no longer seems to be the case.

SpyZooka is a lightweight application at only 5.19MB when installed. As such it is fast (Quick scan takes no more than 3 minutes, while the Full Scan is usually completed in around 15 minutes) and doesn’t use a lot of system resources – CPU usage is next to nil while idle and still quite insignificant when scanning.

The program did good in most of the tests we ran and found most of the spyware samples on an infected computer. We also tried it on a clean system and were able to conclude that SpyZooka doesn’t generate false positives. The program’s scans are not solely signature-based, but uses other techniques as well, thus adding to the decent 67,000 signature database. Having said that, the “100% spyware removal guarantee” is clearly an exaggeration, but oh well, everyone does it…

SpyZooka offers a live protection module, called SpyGuard, which also provides a good deal of IE protection (even though IE just shouldn’t be used..). You get to choose which applications should be automatically allowed to run or blocked and there is a feature, which allows you to schedule scans.

Overall, SpyZooka is a great little anti-spyware program, which sells for $29.95 and provides a free trial version. It might not be the greatest of the greatest, mostly due to lack of features, but it is still pretty reliable.


Positive side:

real time protection
deep file scan
complete system scan

Spyzooka is a great product. I had a ton of popups and my comp was running very slow. Spyzooka took care of my problems. The support is fairly quick, too.
