I've never used Bazooka, but I had a similar situation with another
scanner finding a file (executable) that Ad-Aware missed. Despite this,
I'm happy with Ad-Aware- I just don't rely on it as the answer-to-all-
spyware.

No single program will catch everything. A common combination is AdAware
(www.lavasoftusa.com) with Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/). Each
has their own strengths and they complement each other.
