Version: Hotspot Shield 1.05
"Free program but warning viruses included for free also!!!!"
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

"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!
