  Version: Hotspot Shield 1.05

  "Free program but warning viruses included for free also!!!!"

  by Smoaky on July 6, 2008

  Pros: Uh let me see...hmmmm .....NOTHING!!!

  Cons: Upon install of Hotspot Shield my Avast anti virus program detected SEVERAL Trojan Backdoor Viruses!!!!! These could have been false positives from my anti virus program but I quarantined all the infected files and proceeded to un-install this so-called security program just as fast as I could before any harm could come to my PC.

  Like I said these could have been false positives but I would not take that chance or trying a free "security" just to infect my clean system.

  Would you be willing to do so? I hope not.

  Until someone says definitely that this program is Virus free I will look elsewhere.

  I rate this program a minus 10

  Don't say I didn't warn you

  Summary: null

  "HotSpot Shield Virus Free and Endorsed by CNN, PC Mag and others"

  by mark81295 on July 11, 2008

  Pros: I assure you this program is virus free. It runs on industry standard VPN security protocols. It does have an inserted frame where ads are run - but since we are paying for all your data transfer while connected - we must have a nominal method of covering that cost. We constantly survey our users to arrive at the best possible barter proposition - and welcome your suggestions.

  It's been profiled by CNN and PC Magazine in it's Hall of Fame Best All Time Free Software Downloads.

  regards - the staff at AnchorFree (providers of HotSpot Shield)
