1.0 out of 5 stars Rating should be -1000, June 5, 2006

At first I was very impressed with this software, as it seemed to find things no other anti-spyware software did, including SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, SpyHunter, and a host of others. It ALWAYS finds what is supposed to be a Rootkit Virus named AFX. But this software managed to completely destroy my son's computer. I have no idea how it managed it, but the computer will no longer recognize any mouse plugged in to the mouse port or a LogiTech mouse plugged into any of the USB ports. I reformatted the whole system, and I had exactly the same problem. Somehow it wrote some kind of internal code to the processor not to recognize the mouse. So this software cost me 600 dollars, not the 14.99 they sell if for at Office Depot.

I think I should sue the company, but I have no way to prove this whatsoever.

If you have any comments, I would love to hear them.

It sucks. Don't waste your money. No customer support. If it doesn't work, you are out.

I downloaded the free trial version of Stopzilla. I ran the scan, it immediately identified 3 trojans. Only problem: I had previously scanned with other software & know for a fact I did not have these trojans. In other words, it was a bogus scan. The program might work perfectly, but I'm not about to pay for something that uses devious scare tactics to hook me in.
