Question

My friends recommend STOPzilla-Anti-Spyware and Kaspersky antivirus, I want to know what is the difference between STOPzilla-Anti-Spyware and Kaspersky antivirus?

Answer 1

Kaspersky Anti-Virus has numerous features, including real-time protection, detection and removal of viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware and keyloggers, as well as detection and removal of rootkits. It also includes automatic updates and a tool for creating rescue disks. In addition, KAV prevents itself from being disabled without user permission.

The program is well known for its high detection rates. According to AV-Comparatives, Kaspersky Anti-Virus rates highly amongst virus scanners in terms of detection rates.

STOPzilla is a desktop anti-spyware application built and sold by iS3. It detects, blocks and quarantines adware and spyware on personal computers that use Microsoft Windows operating systems. STOPzilla activates as soon as the user starts the computer and runs continuously for as long as the machine is on.

The software can be set to scan the system automatically on a user-defined schedule or manually. Scanning parameters can be user defined as well, with a full scan analyzing the hard drive, memory, Windows registry and cookies for the presence of known spyware or potentially malicious activity. STOPzilla is typically purchased as an annual or multi-year subscription.

Answer 2

I would not recommend STOPzilla-Anti-Spyware as it has false  detections but kaspersky is VERY recommended, it is one of the BEST AV products you can buy.

Spyware and Virus to two totally different things and you need adequte protection for both.

I would recommend you getting Kaspersky 8 and buying ad-aware Pro one of the best anti-spyware products.

you can find it here http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_pr...

Take Care.

Answer 3

Certainly the difference is STOPzilla gives antispyware protection only but where as Kaspersky gives both antivirus and Antispyware protection. So why buy STOPzilla when Kaspersky gives you more protection? Kaspersky is Top rated Antivirus. So forget STOPzilla and go for Kaspersky. Before you buy any product try it and then if you are satisfied with it then only buy. If you worry about money then get protection for free (see below).

Answer 4

They're made by different companies, but work pretty much the same. They release their own virus definitions, so one may be faster at releasing them than others .i had used Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 for two years, it could be my best and must-have friend!!! It provides you with traditional anti-virus protection based on the latest protection technologies. You can work, communicate, surf the internet and play online games on your computer safely and easily.  

Answer 5

Kaspersky is the best tool for viruses.

Answer 6

Use spybot-search-and-destroy its free and powerfull. If you want paid use eset's anti spyware.
