"Iobit security detected this as spyware..."
Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
not really sure, it's just too fast and you can't possibly think that it could find something in that time frame.
Cons
too fast to be true? I know that you have to find and delete the spyware or what ever it finds yourself but still, surely it can't detect any thing that fast.
Summary
I have always thought that this program scans soo fast and it's to fast to be true but I kept on using it. I was still unsure but then Iobit security dectected this as something so I removed it. I wouldn't suggest this program...

"Good anti-spyware"
Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
Easy to install
Cons
Not very easy to use

"this software is a piece of crap"
Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
none to report
Cons
it doesn't even scan anything!
Summary
This software is bogus and I am pissed off that I wasted the time installing it (I have proven 6 infections on my PC and it says nothing detected the second you click the scan button)... CNET needs to give their heads a shake for the review they gave - what were they thinking???

"Fast, Effective Scans"
Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
A fast, effective scanner. Not as thorough as some, but a good "use first" then follow up with other scanners if necessary sort of tool.
Cons
Misses a number of threats, so do not rely on this alone. Use with Spybot or other reliabel scanners. BVe sure to manually update, as the definitions do not auto update and updates are not updated very often.
Summary
Useful, quick, low resource user that is a good first shot at eliminating malware and trojans. However, it misses a number of threats and should be used with other good reliable scanners like Spybot or TC3.

"Just horrible, out of date, doesn't find any spyware"
Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
It's fast . . .but then again, it doesn't catch anything.
Cons
I just the latest edition of this program, (1/11/2009) and the latest definitions file is over 400 days old. Bazooka didn't find any spyware, but after running Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware it turns out I had over 90 spyware and trojans on my computer.
Summary
Don't get this program. It's absolute trash and not kept up to date. I recommend for a good anti-spyware program you choose Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or A-Squared Free. Check the reviews for Bazooka 1.13.03 - only 1 star average.

Version: Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner 1.13.03
Pros
speed is incredible
Cons
I have used this on 3 computers over a period of more than 3 years..It has NEVER found any malware, although my other spyware removers have found much malware over the years..
Summary
Don't waste your time downloading this - it's useless
way overrated - lightening fast but NEVER detected any spyware in the many years i have used this - an utter waste of time

"Scan time is too fast."
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.
