What do you think of stopzilla?
I personally don't like STOPzilla. STOPzilla messed up my computer- big time. After downloading STOPzilla, I found that every time I got on, STOPzilla did a 10 minute scan.... where I couldn't acsess anything. It did this scan weathere I wanted it to or not. Also, STOPzilla, I believe, allowed viruses to be downloaded on my computer. A week after I downloaded STOPzilla, ThinkPoint, a supposed "cure" showed up without me downloading or buying anything. ThinkPoint made the internet unacseseble. After reaserch, I found that ThinkPoint was, infat, "let in" by STOPzilla. ThinPoink, a known virus, installed other virus "cures". For example: Antivirus Action ThinkPiont Version0.2 and other files. You can reaserch STOPzilla at other places, but you will only get how wonderful it is. IT IS NOT WONDERFUL. My mother had to do a complete recovery on my computer to get rid of Antivirus Action. And where did this come from? STOPzilla. I advise you not to download it.
Do you remove thinkpoint if yes how?
Download Malwarebytes Antimalware, SUPERAntispyware, Spybot or Hitman Pro and scan your computer.

When the Task Manager starts, click on the Processes tab. Highlight hotfix.exe process, click on the End Process button. Now click on the File menu and select New Task (Run...) from the menu. Type explorer.exe into the Open: field and press the OK button. After a minute or so you should be back at your Windows desktop.
