Strangely tucows gives it 5 cows yet 7 out of 8 tucow's users give it a thumbs down.

Cnet brings up a page offering the download with no comments whatsoever. Odd to say the least. They give it 2/5 stars.

Softpedia gives it 3/5 stars

Why would anyone pay$30 for a doubtful program when there is an arsenal of excellent free programs out there? The program appears to have appeared in 2006 yet most sites never started offering it till October 2008

First off very good that you came here and asked us before you jumped in and got any programs, that is definitely the best way to go, and I applaud you for that.
If you had WOT web of trust installed on your pc you would not have to be asking that question however, googling spyzooka their homepage was the one at the top, every thing around it was flagged bright RED by WOT and McAfee site advisor, WOT has that site totally blocked I can not even access it that is how bad it is. Personally I don't need anything more that that to tell me to run from it.
Also after doing some looking I found that sypzooka has been listed on the rogue-software list at spywarewarrior, that in itself would keep me away from it, any program or company that has been on his rogue list at any time would not go on my machines even if it became delisted because the fact was at one time it was a rogue, I simply do not trust them to change.
And when going to this page which is supposed to be an advertisement for some spyware programs
http://ttreviews.info/ IT IS ALSO RED FLAGGED so I would not go there! and the others that are advertised there along with spyzooka are all known rogue spyware programs.
And several of the MVP's have said in forums it is not a suggested program since it has been on the rogue list.

I agree with Owbist here, when you have an incredible program like malwarebytes antimalware that you can get free or if you want it to run real time and give more options pay the paltry fee for it for life! and have a good excellent program that is used daily in all the support forums.
Or superantispyware which is free or pay, it is also an excellent program.
My test of what I can depend on is to visit the support forums and see the tools and programs they are using on a daily basis to fight the good fight against malware. If those people use it I know it is good period.

And I urge everyone if you use these excellent free programs please consider a donation no matter how small to support and thank them for being considerate enough to offer their hard work to us for free. Truly amazing work.

Consider adding WOT web of trust to your security layer it can be added to IE or firefox.
WOT

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Activating the full version unlocks realtime protection, scheduled scanning, and scheduled updating. It is a one time fee of $24.95. Other wise it is free and must be manually updated on each use and scans run manually weekly.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
Free version must be updated each time it is used and scans must be done manually once a week.

Thank you owbist and ravencajun,

There are so many things on the internet it is hard to know what is good and what is not. Like I said I just happened on this in search for other information. I never jump in and try something without checking it out first, I only have one computer and even if I had more, I would still check it out.

I appreciate the information here and I do have SuperAntispyware on this computer now and nothing has showed up other than a few cookies. I have other spyware programs that I have had for a long time that have served me well too.

I never heard of WOT that's a new one to me.

Since SuperAntispyware has been mentioned I had my sister remove it from her computer and then reinstall it. She ran a scan and it showed the same 21 problems. She is not having any issues with her computer could this be a false positive? Is there any way she can check this out? When SuperAntispyware put this stuff from the registry in quarantine nothing wanted to work and when she put it back into the registry and rebooted her computer her computer started working right. This is all in the registry and I am not messing with that, since her computer is running normally and there are no other problems showing up. What does she tell SuperAntispyware to do?

Thanks so much for answering my Spyzooka question, I know now to stay away from that. If it sounds to good to be true it normally is. Ha!

Have a great day.

I would have her put malwarebytes on her pc and update it then do a full scan with it and see what it finds, it is very unusual for superantispyware to do what is happening to her but it could be a false positive in one of the other programs she has that superantispyware is not liking.

Hi ravencajun,

Sorry it has taken this long to get back to you. Something came up that I had to take care of.

Thank you so much for the information about Malwarebytes, I will pass it along to my sister.

I tried something today and I was kind of taken by surprise on what I found.

First, I did a scan in AdAware and it came up with two MRU's one from the registry. I know you can delete MRU's without any problems.

Second, then I ran a scan in Spybot Search and Destroy and it came back with congratulations that it didn't find any problems.

Third, I then ran SuperAntiSpyware and it found 22 cookies and nothing else. There was a time that AdAware would find the cookies and this time it didn't. I just found this very interesting having 3 Spyware programs on my computer and one shows nothing, the other just finds MRU's and the last one finds cookies.

I was thinking how many spyware programs do you need to try and protect yourself? It would be nice if you could find one program that would take care of everything. Just my observation.

thirdfrt!!!

well adaware is not widely recommended anymore it is not the program it once was and spybot unfortunately also is not what it once was so personally they are no longer on my pc. The best 2 available now are Superantispyware and Malwarebytes antimalware. I highly recommend both of those they are good current programs but of course must be updated prior to each use to get new definitions and run full scans once a week. IF you do not have malwarebytes on your pc then go ahead and follow those directions and run the scan.
I also always always put spywareblaster on every windows pc it is free, all you do is open it weekly hit the update button and then hit the enable all protection button and that is it, it runs in the background to keep you safe from a lot of nasties, no scan to run.
SpywareBlaster

Thank you ravencajun,

I already have SpywareBlaster, I have had it for quite sometime now. The only program that I don't have is the Malware one. I printed out your directions too.

Is it easy to uninstall AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy? I never cared much for Spybot it was to confusing but I kept it updated. The people who built my computer put Spybot in.

One more question while I can still get on here. When I tried to get on the computer help forum it took awhile before I could access it and I looked down and there is an error, I will post what it says there.

Line: 461
Char: 1
Error: 'DropDownMenu1' is undefined
Code: 0
Url: http//ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/comphelp/msg0103150632354.html?6 When I click on the internet explorer error that is what it says. It looks weird here too, at the top of the page especially.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Since I am already having a problem, I thought maybe I should put it here, because I may not beable to get on here again.

thirdfrt!!!
