CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This software removes select browser helper objects from your system, but you can't upgrade to the registered version. The interface is a mess with its lack of clear labels, explanations, or a help file. BHOZapper merely displays rogue BHOs, but does include a basic virus checker. The Registry Cleanup and Backup option effectively removes a few damaging Registry entries. The traffic monitoring is spotty as this software was written more than two years ago. The disk cleaner is superfluous. Though system administrators might have use for this demoware, it is simply outclassed by many similar programs.Publisher's description

Version: BHOZapper 1.2.8
Cons: I tried it because I have something that hijacks my Google search and adds a Microsoft Internet Explorer search with it. It did nothing to eliminate that, and it only lists a few safe BHOs. My iritating pop-ups continue unabated. I hate these programs that you trial and they don't do the job, yet then they expect you to buy them! Sorry, I'm uninstalling it.

Summary: Ugghh... why did I install this thing.
