    "Angry! You Bet! Stopzilla is a Scam CNET REMOVE"

    by Stop-Ripping-People-Off on November 18, 2009

    Pros: You are a masochist and like having your computer held for ransom Or, you want to stay up all night trying to remove it from your system because you don't want it and you don't want to pay.

    Cons: Slows CPU, indicates "false" positives, indicates viruses you don't so you think you need to purchase it to get rid of them. amazingly hard to get rid of. In the end, you will need to completely reformat your system. Wish I could give it zero starts.

    Summary: Needed to hire a specialist to remove it and then it is crafty and installs their anti-virus software, so you think you get rid of it, then it re-builds itself again. It embeds itself in the registry, you will try, but you cannot rid your computer o... read more >>

    "Best tech support, it's free!"

    by runaway_computer on November 18, 2009

    Pros: Free tech support! If you have a problem, you call and stopzilla will help you for free. Every other company wants to charge you per incident or by the hour.

    Cons: I have no dislikes about the product or the company, that's why I'm giving them five stars.

    Summary: I've read all the reviews on this product, some are good and some are bad. All I can say is that my experience has been exceptional thanks to the people on the other end of the telephone. Thanks again, I will continue to use your products on all o... read more >>

    "Well woth the money!"

    by sandypineskennel on November 16, 2009

    Pros: Does what it's supposed to. Picks up and blocks most of the "bad" stuff that you don't want around. Customer service and the Tech Support folks are exceptional - many time going above and beyond the call of duty

    Cons: A few minor glitches but nothing of any consequence............

    Summary: I have read a lot of the comments concerning this product but have not experienced any of the problems that seem to be so prevelent in the posts. I am using this product in my business on five sytems and have had to uninstall and re-install this pro... read more >>

    COMPLAINTS
    http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/stopzilla-c168549.html

    Fake reviews check member date, review date, and number of reviews, and when

    Cons: Big scam, fakers post reviews all over the place, they have fake websites too. This is a great scam. I hope people stop getting suckered into downloading this nightmare. I've contacted CNET to have it removed.

    Summary: Get out now. This software is hurting people, taking money, and it is a scam that needs to stop. Google "Uninstall problems" lots of people will NEVER get rid of it. I had to reformat my hard drive to clear it away OR PAY THEM - wasn't gonna do it. ... read more >>
