  "Not Bad, But Needs some features"

  by virago81 on July 17, 2008

  Pros: You can set it up to hang up on any number and/or name (as identified by CallerID). It also serves to log all calls coming into your line, which is a good feature.

  Cons: The phone still rings at least once before the CallZap gets it. Better than nothing, but ideally we'd all want to zap the call without any ring. This software also needs an optional feature which would allow you to play a message to the caller saying "This number does not accept your calls. Please take this number off your list"

  "It's a Simple solution for blocking calls you can't tolerate."

  by A-GUN on November 18, 2006

  Pros: I like having my own control with calls with CallZap. You can block by full name, partial name, full number or partial number. You can block unkown and private calls too. By the time the first ring has completed, the blocked call will be zapped!

  Cons: Although CallZap is a good simple program to use, it could still use some tweaking. You can't leave the program running if you want to connect to the internet via dial-up from a remote computer in your network. You must turn off the program to connect to the internet via dial-up. Then you must remember to turn the program back on when you disconnect from the internet. Another feature I wish CallZap had is... audible alerts/rings (different rings or voices). With audible alerts you could turn off all the ringers on the phones in the house and just turn up the volume on your PC. Plus with a feature like that, you would have more control over incoming calls by allowing only non-blocked calls to ring (it would eliminate the one ring you have to hear for blocked calls). So there, maybe Softwarevolution will put that on their "to do" list.

  "Works well but at a price --- Malware??"

  by sanjayam on August 28, 2009

  Pros: Works well. Caller ID comes up easily, zaps well unlike a whole bunch of programs out there. Easy to type in a number to block.

  Cons: Unfortunately Vipre Antivirus located the source of the backdoor "Rabio malware" -- it was in three separate locations in the Call Zap update program. No where else on the computer. Just Callzap -- Caution with this!!! You have been warned

  Summary: Do not trust this software unfortunately. It seems it's Update service silently downloads a backdoor into your machine. Pretty soon the Fake Antivirus popups start flashing and your PC develops a dsease --- last time I had to reformat the disc. This... read more >>
