SpyZooka's Scan Function Explained

Curious what SpyZooka is actually scanning and cleaning up? Here's the full breakdown — no tech jargon, no fluff, just the facts.

SpyZooka is designed to find and remove only unwanted files — no messing with your documents, pictures, passwords, or cookies that keep you logged in to your favorite sites. After a scan, you’ll still be signed in, your files will be untouched, and your computer will be cleaner.

Every time you use your computer — browse the web, open programs, install updates — temporary "junk" files build up in the background. Over time, they hog space and slow things down. SpyZooka finds these files and safely removes them, giving your PC a tune-up.

Sometimes, a file can’t be deleted because it’s currently being used by another program — we call these locked files. For example, antivirus programs or system processes often keep certain files "open."

Most cleaning programs hide these from you or keep showing the same ones every scan. SpyZooka shows you everything, including which files were locked and couldn’t be removed. No tricks, just transparency.

The Windows registry is a bit like your PC’s control center. SpyZooka identifies outdated or broken registry entries that can be safely removed.

Just like with junk files, some registry keys may be locked and can’t be deleted right away. This isn’t a bug — it’s just how Windows works. We show you all the removable entries clearly, without inflating the results to look impressive.

Other programs might "save" issues for later scans to look like they’re finding new problems. We don’t do that. We keep it honest and simple.

SpyZooka only removes unwanted tracking cookies — the kind advertisers use to follow you around online. We don’t touch cookies that keep you logged in, remember your settings, or help with secure sites like your bank.

No scare tactics. No exaggerated results. Just smart, selective cookie cleaning that keeps your digital life convenient.

SpyZooka’s Registry Tuneup helps your computer run smoother by cleaning up and optimizing the Windows registry — the system’s behind the scenes control center.

Over time, as you install and uninstall programs, the registry can become cluttered with leftover entries and scattered data. Even after cleaning, gaps and blank spaces can remain, slowing things down. That’s where Registry Tuneup comes in.

It works by defragmenting and compacting your registry — reorganizing the data, filling in gaps, and reducing the overall size. This process usually takes under a minute and results in better performance, faster load times, and less memory usage.

You can run Registry Tuneup as often as you'd like. It’s completely safe — it won’t delete anything important or move your files. Just simple, automatic optimization that keeps your system running at its best.

SpyZooka includes a built-in spyware detector that scans for known spyware, adware, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). We flag suspicious items without overreacting — nothing gets removed unless you choose to do it, so you stay in control.

Outdated software is one of the biggest security risks. SpyZooka’s Software Updater checks your apps and programs for available updates. Keeping your software current helps close security holes and improves compatibility and performance — all without the hassle of manual updates.

Every software scans a little differently — they may include more (or less) file types, use different definitions for what’s "junk," or report things differently.

SpyZooka's goal isn’t to show the biggest number — it’s to:
