• good spyware checker

  ChoiceVoiceApril 13, 2013

  Pros

  -checks for around 500 dif spyware -fast and focused -small -it does work on my windows 7 32 bit machine.

  Cons

  -limited number it checks for compared to fuller products -no auto cleaning (however, many other products that do do autocleaning do a horrible job at it and leave a ton of traces without you knowing it. with this and their clear instructions, you can do a more thorough cleaning - if you have the tech confidence).

  Summary

  good for a check up if you like peer to peer software.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 5, 2013<p/>it seems many evaluating this product mis-understand what it is. it is not a complete spyware/adware scanner. it is more like mcafee's stinger and looks for specific infections ... in this case related to programs installed to access p2p networks. hence the fast scan speeds. plus, its instructions (for clean up) allow the do-it-your-selfers to clean all traces better than automatic products (which frequently leave pieces behind).

• Pre Windows Vista only

  Jthan2012April 15, 2012

  Pros

  I used this before I got windows vista and windows 7 and it was an absolute godsend. It was easy to use, and providing you're brave enough to enter your registry, the instructions were clear about how to remove harmful registries.

  Cons

  Once I upgraded to vista and to 7 then Bazooka stopped updating. My database is now over 1000 days old. It also doesn't recognise the fact that windows vista and 7 have files that have been moved about, so when I do scan, there is always dangerous files that must be seen to.

  Summary

  If you are pre-vista/7 then this is a great piece of software to have on your computer. Reliable and simple removal of registry instructions. However if vista/7 is your laptop/pc then I would not recommend this software. It's a great shame this has not been updated for the newer windows, as it was brilliant at protecting the computer.

• Doesn't fix anything

  harleyqMarch 19, 2012

  Pros

  Fast install and scan. Was trying to find the source of my google search redirects and this program actually did find a couple of things that other programs didn't.

  Cons

  Unfortunately, the things it found were supposed malicious files renamed as necessary Windows operations and it basically told me "this file seems suspicious but it also might be an important function in your computer" You have to manually remove everything and I just don't feel comfortable deleting files on my PC based on an "it MIGHT be bad" report from a program that thinks not being updated in 1000 days is current.

  Summary

  Gave me hope and a couple of leads but in the end, Bazooka is too unreliable and outdated to trust by itself.

• Do not download 516 days since company updated database

  Kevinandkimmy4evaOctober 16, 2010

  Pros

  Nothing is good with this junk

  Cons

  Scan is 2 seconds long. The database hasn't been updated by Bazooka for almost 2 years. 2 years and can you imagine how many threats you haven't got updated? Useless, uninstall after the 2 second scan. complete junk

  Summary

  do not download, it does nothing, and is out of sate by 2 years. you will not be protected if you have this.
