It seems it can be removed in control panel > add remove programs.
If you click on the AOL uninstaller the Spyzapper component should be listed for removal.

To really uninstall Spyzapper, you must uninstall AOL software itself (believe me - AOL software is known to not cleanly let go of itself without leaving some unrepaairable wrecks on your PC operating system),
