Version: Hotspot Shield 1.01
Cons: The program installs tons of crap on your PC which can't be uninstalled and constantly communicates with various websites

Version: Hotspot Shield 1.01
Pros: I used the previous version and though I liked the security that it provided, however I wasn't a fan of the ads that were displayed on the top of each page. Even though it seemed not to hinder speed of browsing. This new version has an option to fill out a brief survey to stop ads for a week, which I think is great. Its continues to improve with each realease while still offering a free secure way to browse while on the go.
Cons: The ad frame flashes on each page briefly before it disappears. Doesn't seem to hinder speed though.
