Doesn't work

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Doesn't work at all. Outputs to some random .REC file and you cant even see what your recording.

Poor program, do not download.

Great product, probably best of its kind.

Pros: Ok, just to let you know, this review is for Spyware Doctor version 4.0.0.2613

Alright. This program is exceptional, its the best spyware remover I have ever used. It has a clean interface, its easy to use and has some excellent options. I would recommend this for anybody who needs detailed spyware scans on their comps. And expects to find everything.

It also has an On guard feature that watches your Internet traffic and deletes any incoming spyware or undesirable cookies.

Cons: NOTE: This version has some glitches as far as the program goes, I have used in the past version 3.2.1.359. Which has performed flawlessly. It doesn't slow your comp down, it doesn't have any glitches, it loads instantly with no wait time, and is a solid version. So if you can get ahold of Spyware Doctor version 3.2.1.359, I would highly suggest it. All you would need to do is a live update, and you can still use the initial program, which works much better than this version 4.0.0.2613.

Now to the cons.

First off, this new version 4.0.0.2613 has some bugs. Like for instance, when you install it, you have to connect to download updates, now this isn't that bad, but it can be if your not connected..because it glitches if your not connected. And can cause undesirable effects. because the program glithes and freezes up your comp for a while.

Two, the program itself..takes FOREVER to load up. I think I was stareing at the opening screen for over 5 mins, just waiting for it to load up its interface.

Three, the program itself has a huge burden on your processing speeds. It can very easily slow your computer down to a snails pace, and not just when its scanning but just having it on, loads slow, and glitces up windows.

Four while the On guard feature is a good idea, it doesn't support any browsers except Internet explorer. Now this is a poor idea, nowadays there is so many different browsers available, and not everybody uses IE anymore..especially due to its major faults, and security risks.

Overall: Great spyware/adware/trojan remover. It does its job. Though it has its problems, I don't think they are sever enough to not use. Because it does a great job at deleting, and removing all kinds of bad things that can mess up your computer.

Best IP masker on the net. Best for Privacy.

Pros: NOTE: This review is for Ghost Surf 2005 (Can get at site)

So far, this is by far the best IP hiding software on the net. And I have tried nearly everything out there.

For one, its amazingly fast. I am on dial up, and one thing I have noticed about all the other IP maskers, is that they slow down my connection to almost nothing..and it takes even longer to load pages, or download stuff (if you can imagine that).

Second, it has a clean easy to use interface. And it works nearly flawlessly. All the options are easy to find, you don't have to be an expert to use this. In fact, its good for both.

Also, the 15-day trial is plenty of time to see if you like it or not. And its not limited in any way, except for the time. So you can get a good use out of it before making your decision.

One of the best options it has besides the IP masking was an encryptor. Which encrypts your web surfing with 128-bits..which means that NOBODY, and I mean nobody can see what your doing. And this includes your ISP, believe it or not. The only way somebody could see what your up to is if they used some kind of high-grade decrypter, and really not many people would go through this trouble..unless you were doing something really bad. But is perfect for personal privacy, on anything you do.

Another thing is that it doesn't slow your computer down much either. It uses virtually no processing power, and you can run it all the time if you like, and not really see much difference in your normal computer speed.

It also comes with a Internet cleaner. And this sure does one heck of a job cleaning..it finds all the files, and everything you could want to erase. And it wipes them using special military grade deleting, so they cant be recovered.

Another great thing is that this program tells you what Proxy its using, and how to set it up with other programs, and Browsers like FireFox.

Cons: One thing that has been a consistant in all IP masking software is Internet speed. Now Ghost Surf does the best job I have seen out of all of them..but its not perfect. It still slows down your connection, but its not very much And is definitely the least slow down compared to all the dozens of others I have tried.

One other bad thing, is it doesn't give you any option to choose what IP you want. It just automatically assigns it to you. And there is nothing in the program that tells you your real, or masked IP. So you have to manually check those.

Also, this program is meant to be used with Internet explorer, so in order to use it with any other browser you have to manually set it up. But its not that hard.

One thing I didn't like was when I tried setting up the proxy for use with different programs, sometimes it wouldn't work. Like it was only meant to run traffic through an browser. And this can be a major downfall to it. So It all depends on what you want to use it for.

Overall: Great, fast clean program. Masks IP and doesn't let go of it, so you have no worries of it stopping half way through. Its a sturdy program, and works perfectly for masking IP. And its encryptor function alone is something that I would consider getting the product for, just for that one thing!

So definitely try it out, you have a ton of days to see it it fits you, so why not?
