SafePods for Internet Explorer is supposed to keep you safe from viruses and spyware while you're browsing, but all of the stability issues we encountered lead us to question its reliability.
As far as the user interface, well, there's really not much of one. If you blink, you just might miss it. We were about ready to write this program off as a dud, when we happened to notice a few tiny bars at the very top of our browser window. Hovering our mouse over the bars didn't give us any kind of clue as to what each bar did. By a stroke of luck, we somehow brought up a window that detailed the threats that were supposedly being kept at bay, but we couldn't figure out how to bring up the window again. Our Internet Explorer was very sluggish as we browsed, until, as the final blow, it stopped working altogether.
There's nothing about SafePods for Internet Explorer that would give us reason to trust it against Internet threats. Don't bother with this one.

Version: SafePods for Internet Explorer 1.0.05
Pros: I downloaded the trial version of SafePods for IE a little over a week ago. I have had some serious problems in the past with Spyware and different viruses infecting my system and have tried various "safer" browsers like Firefox. However, I have always been a little anxious whenever I use the internet. SafePods IE has some neat features like being able to open several browsers in one window and being able to see how many "malware" attemps were made on your system, however I didn't realize how amazing it was until the outline of the window turned red indicating a program was trying to infect my system. Luckily it was caught in SafePods and all I had to do was click one button to "wipe clean" my browser and it was gone. My system is still safe, and I feel safe when browsing.
Cons: I have occasional problems opening PDF attachment when in SafePods.
