"excellent!"
Version: Google Web Accelerator 0.2.93.115
Pros
Accelerates IE7&8 dramatically. Speeds up web page access very much.
Cons
When installing, it says in a browser window that "it is no longer available for download". Here's a big surprise(ha,ha,ha!) about yet another Google product:it steals your personal information. Chrome is also known for this. No Firefox support.
Summary
SpeedItUpFree but WORSE. Very fast acceleration but a SERIOUS invasion of privacy. Google does warn you in the EULA however that "some personally identifiable information may be sent to our servers". Yet another company that likes to spy on you to probably spam you to death or worse. Can any decent, honest company come up with acceleration software that does not contain spyware or is spyware in and of itself for free? I am beginning to wonder.

Pros
Doesnt make an enourmous amount of diffrence

"This software is no longer available."
Version: Google Web Accelerator 0.2.93.115
Pros
None. This software no longer exists.
Cons
Visit http://webaccelerator.google.com/. You'll see that the software is no longer available.
Summary
Cnet should remove this software since it is no longer available and no longer supported. Remember that it functions by using Google's proxy servers to cache the web page. Well, what good is this software if Google no longer supports it?
