    Have anyone used stop-sign?
    I think stop-sign Is not anti-virus,but peace of junk. Who wants to pay for games you can get for free and who needs thier dial-up internet when most people on DSL or Cable and anti-virus and on-scan did not detect spyware til I did full scan.

    If you are talking about this: http://www.stop-sign.com

    Then I believe its been established that the company that does it is into distribution of adware and spyware.

    It used to be, but according to research by Eric Howes that no longer appears to be the case.
    Still, there are much better alternatives...

    Also see here, under "eAcceleration/Veloz Stop-Sign":

    i gotta agree. a friend of mine tried this after he saw a commercial for it. i personally didn't like it at all!

    NOTE: don't get hollywood all riled-up! he'll never shut-up. but just in case, there is a toggle switch on the back of his neck that'll turn him off just like c-3po. :D
