Editor's review of Explore Internet World
stars
- "Explore Internet World"
- Version reviewed: Explore Internet World 1
The publishers of this free browser program compare it with television, and they're partially correct. If you took away all of the shows and left only the commercials, television would be much like this completely unnecessary Web browser. Explore Internet World seems like an amateur effort on every level, from the poorly written publisher's description to the rudimentary design of its interface.
Unlike other browser programs that give you the option of where you want to go, this one just displays a randomly selected page from one of 10 areas. There are 11 buttons across the browser's toolbar, including Entertainment, Finance, or Marketing. There's also an About button, but it just repeats the publisher's description and is written in English so poor it's almost laughable. There are no navigation buttons or any other options on the interface. No matter which of the buttons you choose, you're going to be directed to a site that's trying to sell you something. You won't see the address of the site and there's no information about how sites are selected.
Most people today are arming themselves against phishing and other Internet-related scams. Few are going to find anything worthwhile in a program that removes user control and also fails to identify the sites it selects to show. Skip this program and use trusted sites to find items to buy.

Pros: (viewmy.tv) has almost 1300 channels from around the globe and counting. It is free and easy to register. It streams live channels.

Version: Explore Internet World 1
"it appears to be a clearing house for advertisements, and not easily uninstalled"
Pros: nothing in particular, other than it divides the advertising into categories.
Cons: first, i only used it for a few minutes. all the "surfing results" in that time were advertisements for books and the like for earning "big bucks", talking your wife into becoming a "swinger", and other "high level" topics. it was not listed among programs overseen by my firewall protection, and 3 uninstallers had no record of it. i had been looking forward to something along the lines of "stumbleupon", but this program does not appear to be such.
