Diagnostic Scan - This feature is used
only when a Customer Support Rep determines that there is some Malware
on your computer that STOPzilla is not blocking. The Rep will assist you
with the scan process. The purpose of diagnostics is twofold:
A Diagnostic Scan
enables STOPzilla Research to see all software running on your system,
isolate unknown Spyware, and develop target definitions to detect and
block it.
Information captured from users'' scans is incorporated into the Research Database. Once we target a new piece of Spyware, we incorporate it into the next update of STOPzilla. This way, none of our subscribers ever need be bothered by it. The more scan results STOPzilla incorporates, the better we can serve our subscribers.
When creators of Spyware and other malicious software unleash threats on the Internet-using public, there is always a latency period; the time between release and identification. STOPzilla researchers comb the Internet to discover new Spyware and other parasites. Sometimes, Spyware is identified when a user contacts STOPzilla and indicates that the product is not blocking a particular pop-up or the computer is not performing as expected.
Right-click the
System
Tray Icon and select Tools
> View ADVANCED OPTIONS> Support. The system displays the
Support tab. Click Scan Type 1
or Scan Type 2, as instructed
by your Customer Support Rep. STOPzilla scans your system automatically.
Scan Type 1 is a mini-scan that shows only the applications currently
running on your computer. Scan Type 2 is a full scan that includes the
user.data file and the zilla.log file.
When the scan is
completed, usually within three minutes, STOPzilla prompts you to Save or Cancel.
Click Save.
The Save As dialog is displayed. Choose a location to which you want to
save the results of your scan. Your Desktop is recommended. The scan is
saved as a securely encrypted ".scan" document. It cannot be
opened by anyone except STOPzilla engineers.
The Customer Support Rep will direct you to launch an e-mail, include your scan as an attachment, address it to a particular STOPzilla staff member and send it.
When you click Scan Type 2, the system will
prompt you to open Internet Explorer if it is not already open. If you
agree, the system will display a Customer Agreement, indicating that if
you choose to open IE,
certain information pertaining to your surfing history will be visible
to STOPzilla engineers. If you choose No, the scan will be performed without
IE open. A
scan with IE
open provides STOPzilla with more and better data with which to diagnose
your problem, so it is strongly recommended that you choose Yes. STOPzilla
is committed to protecting the privacy of our subscribers. As such, any
personal information is handled in the strictest confidence and never
shared with anyone.
