STOPzilla 5:Top Support Questions

Why do I need to scan for Spyware?

When you first install STOPzilla, it performs a full scan of your system to remove all infections. Once STOPzilla is running, it is recommended that you perform a scan periodically to remove any traces of infection or other potentially unwanted files from your system. STOPzilla detects, blocks, quarantines, and gives you the option to remove malicious program elements. Also, STOPzilla is constantly updating its database of known malicious files. Once you update your software and then perform a scan, you are assured that you are removing the most recently identified malicious programming. To ensure that the entire unwanted program is removed -even though the program is typically benign once the malicious elements are removed- scanning is necessary. Removing the entire unwanted program clears space on your hard drive and reduces the size of your registry, resulting in faster processing and improved computer performance.
