I assume you have evidence?

If it's any indication then StopZilla offer on FJ site redirects to some spammy smiley site.

I found this: STOPzilla - Malwarebytes Forum

Some debate on whether it is rogue or just poor software with dodgy advertising, etc.

There is a clone of stopzilla that is scareware, not spyware scareware lies to you,forcing you to buy somrthing to remove a non existant problem, spyware spys on you logging you keystrokes and some even taking screenshots, download.com verifies stopzilla, so its not a virus, an example of scareware is windows antivirus pro. Stopzilla is fine (as long as you download from a trusted source such as download.com

I have removed the offer as I dont like it anyway. Too dodgy and not really the type of offer I want to be associated with.

Thanks.

Thank you Lee.
I really like more offers but expensive and spammy offers like StopZilla or 'quit smoking' ebook just scare new reds away. A suggestion to FJ.
