It's not on the rogue list:  http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

I've never used it, don't know anybody that has ... not sure I've ever "helped" anyone who used it.

I do not see a lot of logs where people have Stopzilla installed.  However, it is another so-called security software that includes the pre-checked option to install the IAC/Ask Toolbar.  See Calendar of Updates: Products with Ask Toolbar.
