Ease of Setup/Use:  

STOPzilla is simple to use and easy to navigate. The interface is very straightforward, with helpful tabs and a well organized design. Controlling the program is efficient, and the processes are easy to complete.

Scans run in realtime, so user interaction is reduced. Scans can be performed automatically or scheduled specifically, and include four different types of scans (quick, intelligent, full, and customized). Updates can also be setup to occur automatically for the most current and efficient protection.

Detection Effectiveness:  

STOPzilla is one of the few antispyware programs we reviewed that has passed the West Coast Labs independent test and received a Checkmark Certification for spyware protection. STOPzilla successfully detects and removes all sorts of malware, including trojans, dialers, keyloggers, drive-by downloads, phishing, and even browser hijackers.

Removal Effectiveness:  

STOPzilla is well equipped to not only detect, but defend from and remove potential threats. The STOPzilla team is constantly on the lookout for new threats, and send out updates as often as needed.

STOPzilla keeps track of infections detected and creates an activity log for later use. Furthermore, if you accidentally remove something that results in another program not working, you can rollback and restore to your previous working setup.
