When I first heard about SpyZooka, I was skeptical. A friend of mine had had trouble with his computer and then wouldn't stop ranting and raving about how SpyZooka helped him out. I was kind of annoyed at first, but then I started to have problems with my computer. I knew it was spyware, but my antispyware wasn't finding anything. Long story short, I am now the idiot who rants and raves about how great SpyZooka is! Haha!

I am so glad to have SpyZooka. I have only had it for a few months, but it has completely freed my computer of spyware and adware. It works so much better now.

It is positively uplifting to see so many people blessed by this program. It is so rare to come across a product that you can actually trust that can actually do what it says it can do. That is why I have been trusting SpyZooka to protect my PC for over a year. It is also why I just put it on my brand new laptop. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful program. May God bless you for years to come!

I live this anti-spyware. It's a great deal, especially for how well it works. Much better than freeware programs.

I only got spyzooka in the last week and already it has been better than everyother antispyware Ive used before. I thought my computer was fin but it found infections and removed them right away.

You guys are funny. I think SpyZooka is a great program, but I don't think I'm as excited about it as a few of you seem to be. But I'm not all that into technology.

I had a very similar experience, nataliareed. But there was a hidden trojan on my computer. They didn't catch it at first, but I let them know I was having problems and they figured out a solution within 24 hours. What a great staff. I am sticking with SpyZooka from now on thats for sure because customer service is really important to me.

Wow! I kinda feel like I'm part of one big happy family! Lol! We should call ourselves the Spyzookasons. Hahaha! I think I'm probably the happiest of you all though because my laptop was plagued with malware for sooooooooo long, but not anymore. Any guesses as to why? YUP! SpyZooka. Glad all my brothers and sisters are happy :)

Like you other people, I have had a good experience with spyzooka too. Only once did I have trouble with it. An adware program wasn't detected and I kept getting pop-ups, but I sent my report to their support team and they got back to me within 12 hours! Their advice helped and the adware was soon gone. That's what I love about it. They have a good product and an even better support team.

Just wanted to spot by and say how thankful I am for this delightful anti-spyware. My computer had been plagued by popup ads for so long, but ever since I got spyzooka to replace my old anti-spyware it has been running much better. You made me the happiest girl alive! Thank you

I have had SpyZooka for a few months now and I gotta admit that it has surpassed all of my expectations. My computer has never run so smoothly for such a long period of time. Malware has tried to infect my computer but SpyZooka would stop it every time. Thanks for the great protection!

I first heard about SpyZooka from a friend who told me how good it was. He told me that Tucows gave it 5 cows, which impressed me. Since my kids tend to get our computer infected quite often I figured I should give SpyZooka a try and I'm glad I did. It has kept our computer clean more than any other program we've tried. I can see why Tucows gave it such a high rating.

I agree with you guys. SpyZooka has really helped keep my laptop working smoothly. I don't think any antispyware I've ever used has worked this well. I am very glad that I made the decision to go with this application instead of one of those free ones. They just don't do as good a job.

I hate to say it, but WOW! I just now got Spyzooka because of what elvinprince said and already it detected 4 infections and removed them. I already notice a big difference in my computer's performance. As long as it keeps this up, I'm going to recommend this to my friends as well. Way to go spyzooka!

By dantuller
Oct 14, 2009 | 07:03 PM

I totally agree with you elvinprince. Spyzooka kind of surprised me when I first tried it out. I thought it would be decent, but it turned out to be spectacular. It worked so well on my PC at home that I put it on my new laptop and I haven't had any malware problems on it.

By elvinprince
Oct 14, 2009 | 03:30 PM

WOW! It has been over a month since I started using SpyZooka. I thought I would be disappointed with it but...I love it! It surprised me because everything that people said is true. It is easy to use and it found several infections that my previous antispyware didn't find. It works amazingly well but it doesn't slow down my computer! I am totally going to recommend this to my friends and family, which I usually don't do. Congratulations SpyZooka! You passed my very critical test AND made a fan of me :)

You guys totally get a thumbs up! My computer was having problems for so long but the software I had been using wasn't finding anything. I ran SpyZooka for the first time and it found several infections and removed them. Now my computer is working like a charm! I am sooooooo happy!!!

Congrats on a great product! Spyzooka has served me so well at home that I have suggested that the computers at work be protected by it as well. It's a lot better than what they have now.

I have been using SpyZooka for a few months now and I have never loved an antispyware program more. It removed infections that I never knew had been leftover from my previous antispyware. It has protected my computer vigilantly ever since. I wish I could give a candy bar to whoever wrote this program

By jumpingbeanmadness

I wasn't going to leave a comment, but I couldn't help but join in the fun. SpyZooka has been great to me and my computer. I haven't had any problems with pop-ups or anything like that. Plus, it didn't cause my computer to slow down at all like some antispywares I have used before. Good job guys.

By alfredwinslow
Sep 18, 2009 | 11:40 AM

This antispyware is amazing! It has helped me so many times and is much easier to use than other ones I've used, and it seems to find more infections too. Thanks for helping me find it Tucows! SpyZooka is great!

I shop online a lot, so I worry a lot about spyware. I don't want my personal information getting stolen after all. I also download a lot of stuff from torrent sites and that can be dangerous. But I don't worry about spyware since I have SpyZooka. It has done a superb job of protecting my computer and my personal information. It has caught several dangerous programs and helped keep my PC running smoothly. I've recommending it to several friends and they've been pleased as well.

By elvinprince
Sep 01, 2009 | 01:38 AM

Hmmm. I don't know about all of this. It sounds too good to be true, to be honest. I work with computers pretty regularly and am in need of a good antispyware... But I've heard good and bad things about this program.
I'm going to go out on a limb and try this out. I'm a pretty harsh critic, so it had better be damn good or I'll throw a huge fit.

By beccalee
Aug 31, 2009 | 01:51 AM

OH YEAH! Plus, I totally love that my computer isn't slowed down by spyzooka. My previous antispyware totally screwed with my computer's performance.

Wow! It is so great to see so many other people who have benefited from spyzooka. I had a big problem with adware and spy cookies that I didn't know about. But Spyzooka found them and since I ran the program regularly, i discovered which websites were infecting my computer. My computer is much safer and works so much better now.

It's great to see so many other people that have been helped by SpyZooka. I know it helped me out a lot. I just noticed some negative comments down at the bottom though. What they had to say was directly contrary to my experience and my friend's experience with SpyZooka. But whatever. I just know my computer is working great now.

By chrisisawinner
Aug 25, 2009 | 10:48 PM

I have tried several antispyware applications and I have found SpyZooka to be the best by far. It was able to find every malware infection on my computer and remove it quickly. I just love how well it works, how it is always up to date, and how it doesn't slow down my computer at all. No wonder Tucows gave them such a high rating.

By bradcarlson
Aug 25, 2009 | 09:13 PM

I just wanted to say that this is probably the finest antispyware I have ever used. It is simple to use and very effective. When I first got it, I thought that my computer was working fine. But SpyZooka found a few infections and removed them. I was surprised at how much better my computer ran after that. Good stuff.

By incubusfarmer
Aug 17, 2009 | 10:01 PM

Okay...this is the THIRD time I'm trying to leave a comment and this is the last time I'm going to say it. This software is totally rad. My laptop was totally screwed up with adware or something. My skate buddy told me about Spyzooka and it solved all my problems. My laptop is totally money now.

By cindyedington
Aug 17, 2009 | 09:46 PM

Okay, I have to admit I was pretty skeptical at first. But I took a leap of faith and invested in your product and am so glad that I did. SpyZooka found several infections that were slowing down my computer and I had no idea they were there. You've made a true believer out of me and you have a customer for life now.

Just read through a bunch of the comments. It wasn't surprising to see so many people pleased with spy zooka, I know I am. Like so many others, spyzooka found stuff on my computer that my other antispyware didn't. Just wanted to offer my two cents cuz I like to support and vote for things that help me if I can.

By staciebugjuice
Aug 10, 2009 | 05:20 AM

I just got a new computer and I haven't had any spyware problems on it. But, I used to have a lot of problems with spyware, adware, and Trojans on my old laptop. Spyzooka did such a good job cleaning up my computer and protecting it that I immediately got a copy for my new laptop. So far, so good! And I'm sure that I won't have any problems in the future either.

By caseybear
Aug 05, 2009 | 04:31 PM

This program saved me from insanity! :) Seriously though, I had serious adware problems and I couldn't get them to stop giving me pop-ups. I finally tried SpyZooka and it found adware that my other security app didn't find, plus some spy cookies. My computer is adware free and running better than ever now. YAY!

By tedblue
Jul 29, 2009 | 02:29 PM

I haven't tested SpyZooka against another antispyware I already had or anything. But it removed several infections from my computer and their customer support was awesome. I ran SpyZooka and it didn't find anything but my computer was running slow. So, I wrote them and sent them the scan report. They wrote back within a few hours and had the sollution for me! Now my computer is running like new again! :) Thanks!

I am so glad that I found Spyzooka. Before I got it my computer had this fake antispyware program that had tricked me into paying for it but all it did was infect my computer with a bunch of bad stuff. I tried other antispywares but they only got part of the bad stuff off of there. But SpyZooka got my computer to work like it did before and got rid of several infections that the other programs missed. This antispyware is the coolest thing. Just wanted to share that with y'all.

By kitthebrit
Jul 28, 2009 | 03:44 AM

I don't know why some of these people are so down on SpyZooka. It is a great program and has done a great job of protecting my computer. I use to use a couple antispyware programs but SpyZooka always did all the work. Now it is the only one I use because it finds and removes stuff that other antispyware misses.

Blue Penguin Software did an excellent job making this program. They totally deserve the rating Tucows gave them.

I never thought I would leave a comment here, but I just had to say how grateful I am for this product. It worked far better than I thought it would. I heard how great it was supposed to work and so I gave it a shot.
My computer hadn't been working too great and I thought it might have been because of some free downloads I had gotten recently. I ran SpyZooka and it found a bunch of infections. It removed them really quick and my computer is working better than ever!

By justinfoust
Jul 27, 2009 | 02:24 PM

I am a gamer and one of the things that I hate most is when my computer lags. I had a problem with adware and spyware that I just couldn't seem to fix. I read that SpyZooka guaranteed removal of 100% of spyware and I scoffed; but I thought I'd give them a shot.

BEST DECISION EVER! SpyZooka found all of the adware that was constantly annoying me. My gaming has been a lot more fun since I've been using this antispyware. No more lag! YAY!

By thericeeater
Jul 27, 2009 | 12:23 PM

I recently gave Spyzooka a try with their free trial. I wasn't sure if it would actually be good or not because I've heard some mixed reports about it. I already had a free antispyware but I thought I might need extra protection. I ran my free antispyware first, then ran the Spyzooka trial. SpyZooka found 3 infections that the other one didn't, including a Trojan!
I can see why Tucows gave them their highest rating. They really know their stuff.

By jurinemoore
Jul 27, 2009 | 11:39 AM

I agree with saintpeter that it's hard to tell which programs to get to deal with all of the spyware, adware, trojans, and all that garbage. I have tried several different antispyware programs and some of them worked decently and others hardly worked at all. I just wanted to leave a comment though because Spyzooka is the best one that I have found. It works wonderfully and it doesn't slow down my computer like so many other antispywares that I've tried.

So thanks!

By saintpeter53
Jul 21, 2009 | 09:23 PM

OK now, my comment is to comment to all those comments. How would I know if those comments, positive or negative are been selectively created? We don't know who is behind them? There are so many
spyware, adware, hijackers, keyloggers, unwanted toolbars, dialers, trojan horses and malware. How would the common internet surfer know what to get and ones he or she got if it will work.
I really don't believe on comments for that reason, I think tucows should be the judge. (period)

By hattieparker
Jul 18, 2009 | 12:30 AM

I have used several antispyware programs before, but my computer still kept getting pop-up ads. SpyZooka finally found the adware that was responsible. I still use the antispyware applications that I have, but I SpyZooka seems to be the one that I am comparing the rest of them to.

I know that seems vague, but how much detail do you want?! SpyZooka found what no other antispyware could. That is a fact and it is the best fact that I've had for my computer lately. Thank you SpyZooka!

By haleyhorne
Jul 17, 2009 | 11:08 PM

I've read through the comments that people have made here and I just want to set something straight.

There are people who left negative comments about Spyzooka, but I don't think they know what they're talking about. Spyzooka did wonders for my computer when other programs didn't.

I agree with seacat. Jealous competitors are probably gunning for Spyzooka and bashing them. Anyone who uses this antispyware will tell you that it is a quality program. No wonder they have received such high ratings.

By ethanconner
Jul 17, 2009 | 10:50 PM

Just wanted to say thanks and leave a little praise for Spyzooka. My computer has been super slow lately and I thought another antispyware would help fix the problem. I was really surprised though when Spyzooka found several infections that my other antispyware didn't find. My computer is working like new again. THANKS!

By brandonmorigeau
Jul 10, 2009 | 11:33 PM

I just wanted to say that I am glad I found Spyzooka. It has really improved my computer's health. I don't have problems with pop-ups anymore and my computer is working much faster. The other antispyware I have doesn't find nearly as many infections as Spyzooka. Way to go guys!

By lucychang
Jul 10, 2009 | 11:16 PM

Okay. I read some of the negative review about SpyZooka and they are totally bogus. I have had Spyzooka far a few months now and it has protected my computer far better than my previous antispyware programs that were free. I'm totally going to renew once my year subscription is up.

By peterthompson
Jul 10, 2009 | 07:37 PM

I just wanted to come back here and say thank you! Spyzooka has helped clean up my computer and get rid of all of the spyware that had infected it. Other antispyware programs got most of them, but SpyZooka was the only one that got all of them. Thanks!!

By alexthomas
Jul 01, 2009 | 05:17 AM

Spyzooka is one of the best things that as happened to my computer. My girlfriend loves to download movies, games, music, and all other sorts of things...including Trojans and spyware! Though she doesn't mean to, it still happens. Spyzooka has always found everything that has infected my computer. Even though I have Spyzooka and trust them, I still get curious and have other programs scan my computer from time to time and it's always clean as a whistle. I have Spyzooka to thank for that.

By carlsmith
Jul 01, 2009 | 05:07 AM

I just wanted to say thank you to SpyZooka. They have been so very helpful to me and my computer. I had a major adware problem, but the antispyware I had couldn't seem to get rid of it. The pop up ads just kept coming. I tried SpyZooka out and they found the adware that was causing the trouble, as well as a few other things. I registered my copy of SpyZooka and my computer has been doing so much better ever since. I have recommended this program to several of my friends and they have been singing SpyZooka's praises as well. Thanks again guys!

By brandoneden
Jul 01, 2009 | 04:57 AM

Like other people, I was shocked to see negative comments about Spyzooka. I have been using Spyzooka for half a year, along with a couple other antispyware programs. While the others worked decently, Spyzooka has constantly found spyware and adware that the others didn't. I commonly have problems with spyware and adware because I use torrent sights. But my computer has stayed in tip-top shape thanks to Spyzooka! They should get 6 cows. That's what I think.

By jrnames
Jun 10, 2009 | 02:47 PM

I was shocked to see all the negative comments so...I had to write a comment myself! I have had SpyZooka for 2 years now and never had a problem. Whenever my computer starts running slow or getting errors I run it again. Back to good as new. It has been a consistant good program for me.

By janellehamm
Jun 10, 2009 | 02:36 PM

I have had great sucess with SpyZooka! My preteen daughter was downloading all types of screensavers and junk onto the computer. Needless to say we got spyware along with the downloads! We used SpyZooka and the computer now runs like new... no longer getting error codes, freezing up and runs like a dream!

By oliverg

I tried out Spyzooka and they removed the spyware that Superantispyware and Malwarebytes couldn't. Its obvious why Tucows gave them 5 cows.

Don't use this program at all!! It is false.

I tested this on a system filled with spyware, however superantispyware and malwarebytes were sucessful. They are free if you dont want real time protection (RTP is where it protect your computer while it is turned on) but you can run free scans and delete the problems without paying! Use those two instead.

Spyzooka software is bogus. I think all the positive reviews you see posted are simply seeds to sell it. No idea where tucows gets their rating. I purchased and installed to get rid of Vunda and it did nothing other than identify it and a few others. I wrote them immediately to take advantage of the 24 hour support they claim to have. It is now 4 days later and I have received no response. I requested refund, per their satisfaction guarantee and again no response. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. You want good software get AVG for free. It rid my system of Vunda easily running in safe mode. Which I would have known before I wasted the time on Spyzooka. Here's a review from 2005 that confirms what I found out:
