STOPzilla

The world of spyware is growing by the hour and more and more antivirus applications are having trouble dealing with the latest spyware threats. Even the most advanced antivirus solutions can't remove spyware completely from an infected system, putting all your private and personal data in danger. That's why it's a good idea to install a specialized application for dealing with spyware. One program which manages to work as expected is STOPzilla. This simple Windows application manages to remove spyware completely from the operating system, leaving no traces behind. Even the most advanced and stubborn spyware does not represent a threat to STOPzilla.

After installing the application, an updater will be initialized, which will download the latest definition database and will automatically perform a quick system scan. After this is over and the interface is displayed, the user is advised to run a full system scan, for making sure that his system is not infected with any spyware. At the end of the scanning process, one can choose which spyware he would like to remove. Alternatively, spyware can be sent to a quarantine, where it can not do any harm.

Besides scanning and removing spyware, STOPzilla can also protect the system in real time, managing to stop any spyware before it can do any harm. The real time protection can monitor every link clicked in the web browser, every file copied over the network and every local file operation. Besides that, STOPzilla can also block dangerous pop-ups which can infect the system with spyware. The Scheduler feature of the program allows scanning the system on a regular basis, making sure that it will never be infected with spyware.

STOPzilla features an Event Log window, in which the user can view every action performed by the program, together with the date and time. In this way, one can see if there were any errors during the program's operation. There are a couple of extra tools available in the program, which allow cleaning all the temporary data generated by web browsers, like history, cache, cookies, helping improve privacy and security.
