Version: Hotspot Shield 0.941
Cons: first windows couldn't verify the driver on download. then after installing it, kaspersky kept going off. i found out i wasn't stealthed any longer. kind of pointless, also the ads took over firefox.

Version: Hotspot Shield 0.941
"Loaded With Junk Ads! Not Secure"
Cons: This program transmits URL's in PLAIN TEXT. Not Secure At All. Any Network Admin can see what you are doing! Stupid Ads slow down your connection to a crawl! Try something else instead!

Version: Hotspot Shield 0.941
Pros: Hotspot Shield is much better and FREE.
Cons: After reading the reviews on the GoTrusted Secure Tunnel software, I figured I would give Hotspot Shield a try...Hotspot Shield is unfair. You have to give credit card information for GoTrusted, but at least it works...So, as a user you want to download something that doesn't protect your information and have to watch stupid ads too?! Save your time and just download GoTrusted Secure Tunnel by GoTrusted--It's free to try, it actually works, there are no lame ads, and it does a better job at encrypting than Hotspot Shield does.

Version: Hotspot Shield 0.941
Pros: GoTrusted is much more stable and easy to use than this program. Unverified Windows driver. Shows annoying ads and slows your connection. Garbage!
