  Did Not Function Properly

  by: Reborn master on 30-Nov-2006 11:20:48 PM

  Pros: Good popup blocker and a very graphical interface.Very decent realtime protection but it's not the best.

  Cons: Stopzilla got it's name from the movie Godzilla, how stupid.Scanner hardly picks any spyware.Adaware detected 16 spyware on my computer and Stopzilla only detected 7 spyware.Uninstall is very hard, it only removes 50% of it's program and rest gets left behind which can cause blue screen and errors.Use Adaware or spybot instead of this and they are free.

  Do Not Download this program

  by: geo5387 on 25-Nov-2006 06:16:33 PM

  Pros: This program will not uninstall and leaves you with an error every time you reboot the system. File szkg will not uninstall, I tried running Regedit, found the Reg entry and still could not delete it. I contacted StopZilla for help the information they gave me did NOT WORK. Do a search on Google for szkg and see how many other people are having the same problem.

  Cons: Can not be uninstalled cleanly. Repeated bootup errors after program uninstalled. File szkg can not be removed from the system and keeps causing the bootup error message.

  don't bother!

  by: playtom on 18-Feb-2007 04:07:40 PM

  Pros: i guess it do have some basic functions. not so decent but it's okay.

  Cons: would i waste my time or even my computer on this? no! and i recommend you not. you can search it in the internet to see how bad the reputation this program has. even if u dare to try it, you'll probably gone insane for it's uninstall problem or if it ruins your PC. don't try stopzilla, it'll stop your system instead of the bad guys.

  Worthless

  by: stevesta on 25-Nov-2006 01:42:19 AM

  Cons: I havent downloaded this or anything but when i looked at the screenshots i was surprised. Why would you download such a program. Go with a trusted program like mcafee, norton, ad aware or anything else trusted. Theres plenty of good software out there but this isnt one!

  I would rate this app. - if I could.

  by: UM Canes on 22-Nov-2006 02:59:31 PM

  Pros: Decent pop up blocker. Bad rep and very bad reviews sparked my curiosity. Installed on my test machine and was sorry. How "Cnet Editor" gave 5 stars to the previous version is incomprehensible.

  Cons: Difficult, almost impossible to get rid of.

  Scanner identified good apps. as spyware and several false positives. Pop up stoppers that work well are a dime a dozen ane are free with all good tool bars. I had to use windows and another uninstaller, than a manual drag and drop shredder to get rid of it. Not recomended for anyone for any reason.
