StopZilla Anti-Spyware Review

Most people who use the internet heavily find that over time their computer slows down, and they are also aware of the dangers of identity theft inherent in web browsing. The primary cause of both of these problems is spyware, which is often accidentially or secretly installed by persons using software or applications on the web. There are a number of programs designed to combat spyware, but only StopZilla stands out in terms of pro-active anti-spyware effectiveness. Rather than waiting for spyware to appear on the machine and then remove it, StopZilla aggressively blocks spyware and other malware, and even prevents users from accidentially exposing themselves to scammers and hackers.

StopZilla has the option of simply waiting on your machine and scanning for spyware. It’s very good at this, and most high-level users who know how to avoid spyware will find that StopZilla is great at removing those bits and pieces that advanced users end up with. But where it really shines is when it pro-actively prevents more novice users from making critical mistakes. StopZilla prevents users from going to malicious sites, giving up personal information to unscrupulous individuals, and stops known spyware from being downloaded or installed. It also intelligently kills popups, keeping such advertisements from slowing down web browsing while still permitting legitimate popups to be accessed.

StopZilla is powerful and great for both novice and advanced users who are concerned with the spyware problem. It’s easy to use and very well priced. While it can’t protect a user from everything, it’s hard to find any software which could outperform it in terms of pro-active protection.
