Stopzilla The Ultimate Pop Upkiller By IsssPlatform: Windows NT, Macintosh, Linux, Unix, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 95 Brand: Global Marketing Partners Binding: CD-ROM
Not worth it [Posted on 2004-04-21] Bought Stopzilla. Uninstalled it - caused too many problems and didn't work well besides. Just received another charge for $29.95 for what I don't know... Still trying to reach someone about it...
Does what it claims to, but misses the cause. [Posted on 2004-06-18] First of all, this software _does_ stop pop-ups; as can many other completely free programs. However I think the approach of blocking pop-ups is completely missing the point. Why bother killing the individual bee, (the pop-up ad), when you can take out the cause, the bee hive (spyware/adware). In my experience, if you are already protecting yourself from spyware, you shouldn't be getting a lot of pop-ups, unless you are visiting unsavory sites or using file swapping programs. To protect yourself from spyware, there are many fine programs available including; Ad Aware, Spybot, and Spyware Blaster. Try these out and you will see the number of pop-ups you get decline dramatically.
Fantastic! [Posted on 2004-06-23] Blocks all of the pop ups while running completely behind the scenes - I never have to worry about it. Could not ask for a better product.
Works great, but so do other programs [Posted on 2005-01-15] I like this pop up blocker, but there is the Google pop up blocker, and the one built into Windows XP SP2, plus some anti-virus programs have one built in... you really don't need this.
roots out hidden threats [Posted on 2005-09-04] I used Norton IS, Norton AV, Trendmicro (which is better than Norton), Microsoft AV, AVG (also excellent), and scanzilla/stopzilla found one more virus than all the others. I have to give it five BIG stars.
