AVOID THIS PRODUCT! Remember the Conficker virus attacks Networks!!
On their website AnchorFree is promoting Hotspot Shield 1.10, but when one downloads it shows up as 1.13. I contacted Hotspot shield almost 2 weeks ago and have not received a reply. and as, noted in the reviews, the connection will drop without notice.Īs others have stated, this product 1.12 and 1.13 has a trojan horse. Unacceptable.Ĭons: UInless you search late at night, the connection speed is very slow during the day. Clicking on any link and any page loads this frame, making it impossible to use the browser.Ĭons: This program put a pornographic banner ad at the top of my screen, I was sitting with my little daughter on my lap and looking at sesame street torrents and all of the sudden I have porn at the top of my page. I hope Anchor Free reads this and fixes the trojan problem as I would like to go back to it.Ĭons: Blocks EVERY website with a frame linked to RSS2Search. Uninstalling was impossible because Add/Remove and Revo found it always "in use" so I had to log in Safe Mode as Administrator to erase the folder.
However, this last version triggered an AdAware highest level alert for a keystroke logger trojan. It's the only free service that worked with Hulu from Canada - UltraSurf does not. Summary: I found it very useful and was willing to put up with ads which can be clicked off. No I wouldn use Hotspot shield even if you paid me to use it!Ĭheck this out, this is raw user feedback on the product from cnet, no cnet did not write these reviews!Ĭons: Sticks an innocuous, removable but nuisance ad over top of each pageĪfter v1.13 update, AdAware scan alerted to a "level 10" trojan keystroke logger Click to expand.Thank you tonyseeking, you got that right to the T, so I guess I should answer your Original question!
