"Beware of bifrose.gen trojan when executing proxyway"
Version: ProxyWay 5.0
Pros
None. Never got chance to try it.
Cons
My spyware detection software reported finding bifrose.gen trojan when starting up Proxyway after installation.
Summary
Somehow, this version of the .exe is infected by the bifrose.gen trojan. I immediately uninstalled and removed the software after seeing the warning message, so I did not get a chance to try out the capabilities of the tool. Please watch out for this trojan.

"Best proxy program i have found to date"
Version: ProxyWay 5.0
Pros
Change proxys really fast
Easy to use
Automatically sets itself up
Option to update proxy listCons
It could be redone to be a bit easier on the eyes.
Summary
After installing it took me 2 minutes to figure out how to use it. Just click the auto config and when it finishes click on. If you want to change your proxy just click off then on again. Simply the best program out there at this time.
I forgot to mention. This blows *** out of the water as far as speeds go.
