Pros: it will stop all pop-ups.
Cons: but has no add trusted sites list. when i went to un-install, it took it off the list but it kept on working and would not let me turn on the built in pop-up stopper with XP SP2. went to delete the file, said was still running when it wasn't. picked the files out one by one, then picked the reg keys out. ran hijack this and a reg cleaner and got back to normal.

its no good at all, it will load virus: win32.adware-gen you get all type of adware ***** like 80-90 cookies/trackers, a plus it get into deep into your system real hard to remove.
GoZilla! & Stopzilla! all should stay away from. they are loaded adware from hell.
webroot-spysweeper is the only thing i know will remove all the other nasty things out totally. then you reboot it remove what it could not do from desktop.

Stopzilla's scan identified non-existing files and non-existing registry entries. I'm a very experienced user and believe me this is a malicious and I would like unlawful product. Beware!! In stead of cleaning your system it infects with very hard to get rid of worms, adware and spyware.

One day I was surfing, and I downloaded something from a site, that the site said I needed to view a video, And Avast Antivirus popped up and said I had 3 w32 trojan viruses. I moved them to the virus chest and quarantined them, and after this I kept getting pop ups for some kind of anti-spyware scam. I ended up
having to use system restore to get rid of of the pop ups.
3 weeks later I noticed that there was a site in my favorites
folder about a free spyware scan. It had a list of 3 or 4 programs and I figured what the hell, I did'nt see anything about money and it looked harmless, so I was curious to see what what kind of spyware I might have and downloaded it.
It installed and rebooted my computer and when it did my 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate look like Win 95-98 or something. my computer was ungodly slow, My dreamscene wallpaper was disabled because the program disabled windows Aero. I couldnt run system restore, not even in safe mode. when I tried to to uninstall it in add/remove programs windows told me I did'nt have windows installer or something. After a couple of hard boots the program showed up and told me I had like 7 infections and it wanted me to register and buy a key for their protection. Hell this seemed like some kind of street gang or mafia scam to me. I finally was able to uninstall this program by using the programs uninstall command. Their website popped up and asked me why I was uninstalling. I was'nt very nice. (end of story)
