  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: the strength is that it does not provide the users ip address to websites, which protects the user and his/her computer.

  Weaknesses: not sure if there are any, considering what it is designed to do. it takes a few seconds to connect, but this is expected since the connection is being routed through servers in switzerland and other countries. it however can't mask your ip in all cases. but it will provide you with a message when you are endanger of revealing your ip. i think that extensions to its browser, like torrent bit guard and others, should be created to provide "max" privacy for downloads and video players.

  Overall Evaluation: i have it on two computes, vista and win7. I think its very good if you want to ensure you leave no tracks on your computer or the websites.

  Duration of ownership: 0 Days

  Strengths: None

  Weaknesses: Possibility of difficult uninstall

  Overall Evaluation: I like, I found this one not working correctly. I uninstalled using Restore and Revo Uninstaller. But really, if one is going to 'test' software, an image of the disk before totally takes care of junky installed test software

  Duration of ownership: 3 Days

  Strengths: None at all!

  Weaknesses: Will not work. Cannot uninstall. This is 2nd time to try this program and it still does not work.

  Overall Evaluation: I would recommend that NO one even thinks to try this program. This is the first I have greatly disappointed in PC World for not checking this out better.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Days

  Strengths: Don't know

  Weaknesses: Wouldn't load

  Overall Evaluation: Worst of all, it refuses to uninstall. Now It has effectively slowed my start up time, all for nothing. Its an obscenity that PC World would even list this kind of garbage software. The only redeeming factor is if PC World will advise me on how to uninstall it.

  Strengths: None. Slow to react to web browsing.

  Weaknesses: Can't delete! Uninstall doesn't work; even changed the file names and it still installs!

  Overall Evaluation: Really scared about privacy now, and disappointed in PCworld for not checking this out before recommending!
