Publisher's description of Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner
Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner detects a multitude of spyware, adware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, and trackware components, sources of irritation that many antivirus products do not deal with. The scanning process only takes a fraction of a second and tells you how to uninstall the invasive spyware or puts you in contact with the spyware developer for the most up-to-date and safe uninstall instructions. Spyware and adware often is bundled with software such as Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster, iMesh, Xolox, and Gnutella, and in many cases it's installed without your knowledge. Some send information about your surfing habits to ad companies, which target you with pop-up ads that fit your preferences. Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner search for CoolWebSearch, Gator, GAIN, Bargain Buddy, CommonName, FlashTrack, IPInsight, nCase, SaveNow, and WurldMedia.
Version 1.13.03 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros: Bazooka scanned my computer in about 10 seconds and did not find any spyware or adware.
Cons: The data base of this program is too small so detection rates of spyware and adware are not detected. Bozooka need's to be updated with a larger data base.

"Free doesn't mean its actually any good."
Pros: Its free.
It has a nice look I suppose.
Cons: Scan times are ridiculously too low to indicate any kind of decent scanning engine.
Detection rates are horrible in comparison to the Big 5: Microsoft Antispyware, Webroot SpySweeper, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, McAfee Antispyware.

Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros: Fast, but so far didnt found any spyware/addware.
Recommended as a backup antispyware but not use it for main cleaning tools.

Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros: I always run Bazooka first, because it can detect any spyware and adware in less than 10 seconds. If it shows any, then I run my spy cleaners,(which are all slow),and clean the infections. As you know, Bazooka won't clean the spyware. I think it makes a nice addition to your anti-spy arsenal, and recommend it because it does a good job-and it's FREE! 5 Stars and Two thumbs Up!
