Qword and Stopzilla are FRAUDS...and evil

I was recently trying to remove Qword, a search engine malware with sleazy advertisements, and is just an overall failure of a search engine that comes back whenever it is deleted. So, I went a-looking for some help to get rid of Qword once and for all. I found an free anti-malware software called Stop-zilla, which specifically advertised how to get rid of Qword. I downloaded the program, and immediately began to scan my laptop. After a long twenty minute scan, Stop-zilla apparently found a trojan virus in my system. Once I was ready to remove it, a pop-up appears telling me that I had to actually purchase Stop-zilla in order to remove the virus.


"Well, this was a waste of time" I thought. Once I went to uninstall Stop-zilla, here's when the fun started. An error message came up stating that there was a problem with the process. I went to Add/Remove programs to locate Stop-zilla again, but now it could not be found. After a manual search of the program, I decided to just throw it all in the recycle bin and totally delete it. However, there was one file that refused to be deleted. So, I decided to restart my laptop and try again. The problems on my laptop only increased. My whole system starting acting totally unstable. The computer kept telling me that certain programs forced quit, and that I should send a report to Microsoft. The reports never work, but I would do it just to make it leave. However, the message would always pop-up again, and again. Overall, my whole laptop was simply acting like a crack head.

I found the System Recovery option on my laptop and happily restarted my computer back to a date where I didn't mess around with Stop-zilla. I didn't lose any of my files, but I made a recovery disc just in case something would have happened. Now let's put this all together. I wanted to get rid of Qword by using Stop-zilla, an anti-malware program that claims to be an award winning software aimed at getting rid of Qword. Once I tried to get rid of Stop-zilla for being a big FRAUD-zilla, it causes my laptop to act totally crazy.


The conclusion is simple: don't buy into a phony anti-malware program that sounds too good to be true. I also found out that other people have made complaints about Stop-zilla being a falsely advertised program; many of the people suffered through the same trash that I experienced. To be honest I was suspicious of the whole Stop-zilla name. The only thing it stops is a laptop that is running well. Be warned. Maybe they ought to call it Trash-zilla.
