The Scheduler feature, exclusively available in SpyZooka Pro, provides seamless automation of SpyZooka's exceptional functionalities to enhance the security and optimization of your PC.
The Scheduler is designed to be intelligent in managing your settings. If you happen to schedule two features to run simultaneously, the Scheduler ensures that the first feature completes before initiating the second one, optimizing the execution order for a smooth experience.
Enabling each feature is as simple as clicking the Enable button, granting you full access to customize their settings. Conversely, clicking Disable turns off the automated features, giving you manual control.
Please note that for the Scheduler to execute the automated features, your computer must be turned on. However, we offer options to handle situations when your computer is turned off, ensuring flexibility and convenience in scheduling tasks.
Update - Software & Spyware
When the 'Update' feature is enabled, SpyZooka automatically downloads the latest software version and spyware updates. We release new versions of SpyZooka on a monthly basis, while spyware updates are released daily. By enabling automatic updates, you ensure that you have the most up-to-date SpyZooka Pro software version and the latest spyware protection.
If your computer is turned off, the Scheduler will automatically check for updates 10 minutes after you turn it on, ensuring that you don't miss out on important updates.
All updates are seamlessly handled in the background without any notification, allowing you to continue using your computer uninterrupted. SpyZooka silently performs the necessary updates, ensuring that your software and spyware definitions are always current.
Scan
Automates your SpyZooka Pro scans. You can set SpyZooka to automatically scan starting on a set date and a set number of days after your initial date.
Please note that in order to clean your browsers they must be closed. SpyZooka's Scheduler for the Scan will automatically close your browsers and clean them at the time you set. We recommend choosing a time you are not actively using your browsers, or use some of the advanced features within Scheduler to only scan your computer when it's idle.

Uninstaller
Automates SpyZooka's proprietary real time uninstaller to monitor for programs that leave leftover files on your computer upon uninstall.
Often when a program is uninstalled the default uninstaller leaves unwanted files and registry entries in your computer. Or an uninstaller can become corrupted and completely fail to uninstall a program. This is where SpyZooka's Uninstaller shines and solves your uninstall problems!
SpyZooka's uninstaller detects leftover entries every time you remove a program from Windows built in uninstaller and removes leftover entries.
Uninstaller automates this functionality with two options:
Automatically removes leftover entries after uninstall > this automatically uninstalls all leftover files and registry entries from your computer when using Windows built in uninstaller
Shows incomplete uninstall notification for manual removal > Displays a notification when you uninstall a program using Windows built in uninstaller and there are leftover files or registry entries. You can choose to manually remove those leftover files and registry entries or close the notification and do nothing
Alternatively you can use SpyZooka's uninstaller to remove the entire program including all files and registry entries. This works even when the programs built in uninstaller becomes corrupted and no longer works.

Start On > here you select the date and time you want the first scheduled drive shredder to run.
