This review is from: iS3 Stopzilla 4.0 [Stop Spyware, Pop-ups, ID Theft] (CD-ROM)

I purchased Stopzilla in 2006 and when MS IE7 hit the market, the software would not work. I un-installed it and let them know via phone that I had stop using the software. They still billed my credit card for the renewal price each year. I missed it in 2007 but caught it in 2008. I called them and credited my card for the $39.95 charged in 2008 but refused to give me credit in 2007 stating that they had no record of my cancellation. There are better products on the market--Don't Buy!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware! They tried to overcharge my credit card, September 22, 2009

At first, I thought Stopzilla was great: it found a Trojan that few other AV softwares could find.

It then proceeded to ask me to buy a subscription in order to remove the Trojan.

I bought the subscription, which was advertised at $9.95 on their website. The total of the credit card transaction was also indicated as $9.95.

I activated the software.

Stopzilla told me that it had removed the Trojan. However, the Trojan reappeared immediately after. I was never able to use Stopzilla to remove it.

The next day, I saw on my credit card statement that I had actually been billed $39.95.

You tell me: is all this a good sign for an antivirus software?

My advice to you: don't buy it.

This review is from: iS3 Stopzilla 4.0 [Stop Spyware, Pop-ups, ID Theft] (CD-ROM)

I just bought a new computer. It was very fast for about 2 weeks, then it slowed down exponentially over the following month. I knew I had spyware on it, but after my last experience with another anti-spyware product, spysweeper, I was confused on which to purchase. I knew I didn't want to use spysweeper again. After extensively researching all the software options out there, I settled on Stopzilla. It was a lightening fast installation, has lightening fast updates and within a few minutes my computer was back to it's new out of the box fast speed. I'm very impressed.

Just to let you know, on my last computer I had installed spysweeper. It was the first anti-spyware program I had ever used. And, everyone seemed to rate it really high up so I bought it. Although it cleaned "most" of the spyware on my computer, it slowed my system down. I also had 3 issues with the program over the 1st year and had to reinstall it over and over. When the software expired I started getting updates from the company saying that in a scan it found several different spywares on my system and I needed to re-subscribe. So, I bought another years subscription just to be safe. When the system ran the scan, not a single spyware was on my system. What a scam. I think that is what angered me the most. I seriously do not like to be conned. And, over the next 6 months it kept messing up my system. I was never able to uninstall the software. Buyer Beware!

My experience with Stopzilla has been great so far.
