Does anyone know anything about Spy Zooka by Blue Penguin? Is it effective?

Thanks, I thought it sounded a little shady.

OK,I downloaded a copy from the BluePenguin site,and ran it in a Sandboxie test box,with Returnil on.
The Quick scan and the Full scan both came back clean.
So it did not try any of the classic rouge multiple false positives.
the GUI is pretty nice.
memory use was just over 22,000k,and CPU use about 10% during scans.
Scan Speed is fast on the quick scan,and about average for the full.
It has scheduled scans in the unregistered version.
I dont know how much the registered version costs,
but the unregistered version is on-demand only,and
I cant see it does anything any better than SuperAntiSpyWare free version.
(other than the scheduled scans)

Ps One thing I did find that concerns me,is in the scheduled scan settings you have a choice to remove or quarantine found objects,but no setting to simply flag and alert.
If it shows itself to be as free with system file false positives, as the program in who's forum it was labeled a rouge,that could be a problem.
