Black List

The Black List is a powerful tool in the hands of both the novice and advanced user. This list is a running record of every Pop-up that STOPzilla has blocked and allowed, and a set of tools that enable you to view, delete, block, allow, and research Pop-ups from specific Web sites. The Black List is a way for you to see how STOPzilla has been protecting your system from intruders. The Black List does not need to have any entries in it in order for STOPzilla to be working.

You can remove selected items from the Black List or clear the entire Black List by using the right-click menu functions in the Black List. You may clear your Black List at any time without affecting STOPzilla's performance in any way.

To work with the Black List:

1. Right-click the SZ system tray icon in the lower right corner of your screen and select View Black List from the menu to launch the Black List.
2. Select any item in the Black List and right-click to launch the Black List menu.
