StopZilla has six primary areas that guide you through different areas of protection.

I've been using StopZilla for a few weeks and I've had no problems. It does miss the odd popup, even those in the blacklist, and some popups I cannot even put into the blacklist, but these are very few, only 5 in the past week.

This is a fine program, and it does it's job well, but you do have to pay almost $18 for it, which is a shame. I won't be paying for this software, I'm going to find another popup killer. I'm not complaining because I have to pay for software, but I am complaining that I have to pay for this specific software, when my favourite popup killer, called Popup Killer, was totally free, and far better and more intuitive and user friendly than StopZilla.

STOPzilla is loaded full of dozens of features that help to protect your computer from spyware and malware. StopZilla has six primary areas that guide you through different areas of protection. When I tested it against it against various spyware, it detected everything putting it right up there with the very best spyware blockers.

Home The Home page helps to protect your computer's privacy by erasing both history and cookies. This area of StopZilla is an easy to use interface that shows the current version and can be used to enable or disable items including getting the latest updates on definition files.

Scanner The scanner allows you to scan at different levels and shows the individual items that will be scanned. This also allows you to view the scan results and allows you to delete findings.

Active Enforcers Each of the following areas can be configured allowing the Browser, Network, System, Run Time and Auto Start to be configured and protected. This easy to use layout can be used by the most novice user and is thorough enough to cover every area needed to provide protection for your computer. By protecting the winsock, network and hosts files, this ensures that your network connection is not interrupted and your computer is still able to get on the internet.

Settings The settings area controls how your computer uses STOPzilla and how spyware will be handled.

Quarantine Area Spyware can be held in this area rendering it harmless to your computer. The default settings purges this quarantine after 30 days ensuring that the spyware is removed from your computer.

Pop-UP Protection STOPzilla's Pop-UP Protection stops pop-ups and controls javascript. This is particularly important for surfing the internet today to avoid being infected by this type of malicious activity.

SITEguard SITEguard is a database of malicious internet sites that are known to deliver spyware to countless visitors (Phishing sites). This protection protects your computer from going to these sites if you click a malicious link to one of these sites from your email client. Updates are available for this portion of StopZilla.

Scheduler and Tools STOPzilla's Scheduler and Tools allows for the scan and update schedules to be set to ensure your computer is fully protected. The Event Log and Diagnostic scan allows you to view what is happening with StopZilla and can send diagnostic information to the STOPzilla team for analysis.
