StopSign.com - "The Worldwide market leader in computer protection services"

I've seen commercials a lot lately for this website StopSign.com (http://stopsign.com/) by eAccelleration.

They have online virus scan, spyware scan, firewall, pop-up blocker, and spam removal.

Of course, it's not free....but I just thought I would bounce this around and see if anybody has heard anything about it..

such as...What AV do they use to scan? What firewall do they provide? etc..

Is that the program with ads running for it on the ~snip~ tube?

If it is, avoid the product. The ads look very shady. How many legit anti-spyware makers place ads on the the ~snip~ tube? StopSign is the only one I've ever seen.

I'm not convinced of the safety of this product either.

I've seen the commercial on Comedy Central, Encore, and Animal Planet. The commercial is retarded and is geared towards making people paranoid about what "Could be" on their systems.

Note on eAcceleration Stop-Sign: (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#ss_note)

-{ Quote: "While testing indicates that the "threat scanner" is still slow and has occasional problems with false positives -- in large part because of the use of heuristics, which cannot be turned off by the user -- we can no longer classify this application as "rogue/suspect." Nonetheless, this anti-malware application -- at least in its current state -- cannot be recommended, given the many excellent competing anti-virus, anti-trojan, and anti-spyware applications that are available (some for free)." }-
