Anti-Spyware Review of StopZilla 4.4

When we think about spyware, we often imagine some kind of contagious, slimy creature ramping on the dark corners of the Internet. If we are not careful, spyware can infect our own computer.

With that being said, please know that digital software giant Roxio joined forces with the spyware detector called STOPzilla. STOPzilla presents a promise that their fire-breathing dragon will roast all spyware found on your system.

STOPzilla won the CNET Editor’s Award, and is advertised as the complete package to remove spyware from your system. So how did the spyware detector do in our tests? 6StarReviews explored the spyware cleaner, and following is STOPzilla’s review.

What’s new?

6StarReviews got close enough to the dragon to find out the latest news:

• The spyware detector has lowered their price to $29.95 with a $10 mail in rebate (net $29.95) from $39.95.

• STOPzilla 4.0’s promotion and marketing is now done by software giant Roxio

User Interface and Product Application

Installing and using the spyware cleaner was surprisingly easy, as its design and functions are very user-friendly. This program combines similar elements that you would find in a pop up blocker and firewall and allows you to select what adware you want to leave on your machine and what you want deleted.

The software runs in the background of your PC and will pop up when a threat occurs. Each blocked URL will go on a blacklist, where it will remain unless you remove it from the list.

We like leaving the blacklist running at the same time we were surfing, to see what the spyware detector was blocking in the background.

6StarReviews' Favorite Feature: Real-time protection:
Who has time to run a full scan every time you use your computer? With STOPzilla, your privacy is protected as soon as you open your computer. No more wasted time while performing the manual scan.
