Version: STOPzilla 4.3
"yes it's a great popup stopper...."
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.

Version: STOPzilla 4.3
Pros: This piece of ...software is totaly MAPA and crooky. It uses the name Zilla making you to believe it is a hight quality program as Mozilla and so on...
When you scan it finds 50 - 100 malicious ads while they don't exist.
Then, it takes a great sum of the computer resources and MODIFIES your system. As a result it takes much longer to load when you boot.
It doesn't stop ads, though it says so... It does NOTHING.
Cons: The worse is that it doesn't uninstall. Once you install it you 'll be obliged to format your disk again or ...live with this crooky piece of ...software.
And imagine, on top of all these YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. What a cheek!!!

Version: STOPzilla 4.4
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.

Version: STOPzilla 4.4
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.
