The security software STOPzilla installs a process called STOPzilla Service, through the executable file szserver.exe. This application is responsible for blocking malicious software, spyware, and PC threats. It also identifies malicious files that have infected the system and works to rid the system of these threats. It is an advanced malware and spyware blocker, which can detect cloaked malicious files. This is a background process that should not be prevented from launching with startup, and should be allowed to run in the background to enable it to detect threats as they come, in real-time. By allowing it to run as a background service, the software can work effectively to decrease system vulnerability, and increase system stability. Command path is C:\Program Files\STOPzilla\ szserver.exe. Approximate RAM for the file is 67 MB. The process is not CPU-intensive, so running the application in the background will not affect speed of other processes that are running simultaneously with it.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. szserver.exe. is used by STOPzilla , If you shut down szserver.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start.
