SpyZooka review
SpyZooka is an easy-to-use, but yet quite powerful and effective spyware remover developed by BluePenguin Software company. The application passed most our tests and showed passable results. However, its latest version suffers from serious instability issues and therefore cannot be recommended for daily use.
SpyZooka scans the Windows registry, running processes and the entire file system. Its Quick Scan mode checks a modern computer in less than 2 minutes and still allows to detect most spyware parasites. The Full Scan mode takes up to 20 minutes. However, it lets the program to thoroughly examine each file on every selected hard drive and removable media. A scan engine does not rely only on SpyZooka's regularly updated spyware definitions database, which currently contains a little less than 60,000 of signatures, but also uses different malware detection techniques.
The application has several useful functions. The most interesting is SpyGuard, real-time protection monitor. This tool defends the system from known parasites activity, prevents browser hijacks and blocks installation of threats. Other SpyZooka's extra utilities are File Shredder, the Internet Explorer Settings tool (it allows to restore the web browser's default configuration), Messenger Service (enables and disables potentially vulnerable Windows Messenger Service). SpyZooka also provides few other functions that allow to get rid of malicious browser plug-ins, toolbars, dangerous system components and other security risks.
The program's graphical user interface is clean and user-friendly.
Free version refuses to remove any parasites it finds. Updates are disabled.
Although the latest version of SpyZooka performs very well, we CANNOT recommend this spyware remover for Windows XP users, as it does not run reliably enough on this operating system. Our tests revealed only one, but very ugly SpyZooka's negative side - the application crashes each time it completes full system scan. The program displays an error message and then the entire system crashes. Start Menu doesn't work and even the Task Manager fails to load. The only way out is to restart a computer. It should be noted that SpyZooka does not crash while running on prior Windows versions. See a screenshot provided below.

I had a bad spyware problem too. I found a Spyzooka Review here... took their advice and now I am spy free and running like a champ!
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.
