I have used many antivirus program for my office but to be honest stopzilla stood to be the best among all. The program is very useful to keep the computer safe and healthy from threats. Totally recommended.

Stopzilla is a great antivirus program. Honestly I like the UI and the ability of the program. The program gets rid of malware in just 1 click which I like the most

I have been a user of stopzilla fro the last few months and to be honest it helped me a lot in getting rid of unnecessary and infected files. I would definitely recommend it.

Stopzilla is a great anti-virus software. However, their customer service is absolutely terrible. I have been trying for a week to find out if my subscription will auto-renew. Every time I call, online chat and email, I'm told yes it will and then they try to upsell me. Today my Stopzilla expired and I did another online chat again. Still get the same response that it will (even though it has expired) and immediately they go into their upselling. If it doesn't renew today, I will switch to someone else.

I have had STOPzilla for 2 years and I am very satisfied with it. Previously, I had another well-known anti-virus software and it slowed my computer down terribly and finally I had to take my computer to a company that repaired computers. They replaced it with STOPzilla and it has worked fine since then. When it comes up for renewal I may add their malware software as well. Very satisfied!

April 2020, Stopzilla Update quit working. they are no longer answering their telephone and now you have to submit an e-mail for resolution. This is not a good sign for a company. I may need to switch to another anti-virus software.

I HAVE HAD STOPZILLA NOW FOR OVER 8 YEARS. IT HAS PROTECTED MY COMPUTER WELL THE ENTIRE TIME. WHEN I DID HAVE A PROBLEM STOPZILLA TEAM TOOK CONTROL OF MY COMPUTER THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AND WROTE A PROGRAM TO ELIMINATE FUTURE PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN 5 YEARS NOW OF TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.

Many years ago, when Stopzilla was new to the market, they offered a few (maybe 100 or so) lifetime memberships. I don't remember what I paid but I got a lifetime membership. My computer crashed and back then backing up a home computer was difficult. I had to purchase a new computer. I called Stopzilla, they conveniently had no record of my lifetime membership! Every time I see Stopzilla I get a little pissed because they are scammers! Reading all the crappy reviews it seems like I may have dodged a bullet but they still have my hard earned money in their pockets!
