Not very popular, looks like an underdog AV competitor. I also have never heard or seen of it, since it isn't tested by AV comparatives.
Well, to be fair, Wikipedia's write up is from 2012 and before. So things may have improved in the newer versions. Also the 100% detection rate in the last paragraph is quite impressive.
They apparently did some unethical things in the past. Like automatically charging customer's credit cards for a license renewal.
Old reviews from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3D…Prices aren't that cheap either — a year of 1 PC protection is $39.95 (and that is after a $10 discount).
Would much rather get a OEM license of Kaspersky or Norton from MSY or something, which only sets you back $15 ea
360 Internet security is 100% free.
Stopzilla.. It is just one of the also rans… nothing to rave about.
If you want the best and are prepared to pay a few $ then go..

Stopzilla is an antivirus and anti-malware software not an optimiser tool. I wonder how it solved all his PC problems unless he had a virus/malfare infection.
Anyway, read below reviews from Cnet. Sounds pretty decent.
