CNET Editors' review
This Internet Explorer form filler and password saver can be very handy, although it didn't work for every Web form we tried. BizForm Bar adds a toolbar with a few navigation buttons to the top of your IE browser (we weren't able to drag it elsewhere). To our surprise, a toolbar also appeared at the top of our Control Panel window, although this was not mentioned in any documentation we found. By creating a profile, you can have BizForm Bar create a database of your passwords and usernames so it will automatically fill in the appropriate entry fields when you go to those sites. The database is password-protected and encrypted. The utility worked well for us in our tests in most instances, except for Yahoo Mail, which may have to do with that site's security settings. Other than the aforementioned quirks, we were satisfied with this free utility's performance. Any level of user should be able to use it with no difficulty.
Publisher's Description
From PBH:
Free password manager and form filler, autofill forms remember online passwords and forms. BizForm Bar is a free alternative to roboform. It allows you to safely save online forms and online passwords. Your login usernames, passwords and form information are encrypted with state-of-the art encryption software. Once stored in the system, your information is never exposed, such as allowing other users to view or print them. You can set up logout times such as lunch and at the end of the day, so if you leave your computer logged in we will automatically log you out so no one accessing your computer can use your passwords or form information. Password and form data can be safely exported to other computers or USB keys. Since your data is encrypted it is safe to carry around. We also offer a stay logged in feature for low security home users.
Version 4.1.0.189 adds a anti-keylogger virtual keyboard, multiple profiles and a password generator. Users can now safely enter there critical information without the fear of keylogger spyware capturing their keystrokes before the data is safely encrypted.
What's new in this version: Version 4.1.0.189 adds a anti-keylogger virtual keyboard, multiple profiles and a password generator. Users can now safely enter their critical information without the fear of keylogger spyware capturing their keystrokes before the data is safely encrypted.

For a free program it can't be beat. I've had it 4 years and it is still working great.

"I've had it for years, but lost it works very well"
Version: BizForm Bar 4.1.0.189
Pros
Easy to use, reliable. I've used it for years and it's always seemed to work good for me.
Cons
On IE8, biz bar would say it had an update, then my anti-virus software would always say after the update, it had detected a trojan. I haven't experienced that with IE9.
Summary
I like it, it's very easy to use.

"loaded with malware/trojans"
Version: BizForm Bar 4.1.0.189
Pros
don't know of any
Cons
CNet is still not checking files it offers for download. BizForm and subsequent updates are loaded with viruses or trojans.

Don't download anything from BizForm, and use Tucows rather than CNet Download.com to download files.

"Works good until fles corrupt, then loses everything"
Version: BizForm Bar 4.1.0.189
Pros
This program works really good, easy to use form filler. Does have some problems though.
Cons
Works well for awhile, then the files for the form filler get corrupted and the only way to use it then is to erase all of your pre-saved information and start over
Summary
It might work better for you, I lost all my information twice now. I contacted the developer about the corrupted files andloss of information and got no response. If you need to do alot of form filling, you migt look on for better programs
