Why choose STOPzilla?

STOPzilla is known for its real-time protection and it’s especially appreciated for its protection against pop-ups and other forms of adware.

Thorough scan

STOPzilla offers four types of system scan: Quick Scan, Intelligent Scan, Full Scan and Custom Scan. Custom Scan option is misleading since it only allows checking files. Each of the scans is thorough but they take lots of time to check a system. This problem may occur if a computer is used very often and if it contains large numbers of files. Quick, Intelligent and Full scans can be scheduled to run daily and weekly.

Enhanced real-time protection

The program is known for its advanced real-time protection. The protection covers browser security, network security, RAM use, startup settings and basic system settings (like desktop background and Windows Registry). Security of each of the mentioned sections can be customized.

STOPzilla real-time protection

STOPzilla also offers a built-in pop-up blocker. Not only it stops the pop-ups but it also logs all the blocked items. User can review the log and remove the items he finds acceptable. STOPzilla allows creating a personal list of websites allowed or forbidden to display pop-ups. STOPzilla is also able to block Windows Messenger Service, JavaScript error messages and JavaScript debugging messages.

Additional features

STOPzilla has convenient options to delete cookies and browsing history. STOPzilla SiteGuard monitors web browsing and ensures that user doesn’t enter malicious or fraudulent websites. SiteGuard feature is customable.
STOPzilla offers two more features: the Event Log and the Diagnostic Scan. The Event Log lists all the actions performed by STOPzilla. The Diagnostic Scan logs all the processes running on the system and notifies developers of STOPzilla in case some of the running programs are suspicious. Both of these scans are dedicated to help STOPzilla support in case the program isn’t able to delete certain infection automatically.
