Publisher's description
From Camtech 2000 :SpySites includes a database of over 1,500 known Spy/Sleaze sites and guides you through the simple process of including them in Internet Explorer's Restricted Zone and setting policies to prevent them from performing intrusive acts on your PC. By setting the policies for the Restricted sites zone to a very high level of security, you can be assured that any web sites added to the Restricted sites zone cannot do certain things which could compromise your privacy and security such as installing and/or running: ActiveX controls; Java applets; JavaScript; Cookies; Trojans; Download and installation of Desktop items. Use as anonymous FTP password; Hijacking your Home page and/or Search page; Installing their 'Sleazeware' without your knowledge. Internet Explorer's Restricted Zone can be extremely effective blocking these actions but Microsoft's Help file doesn't explain exactly how it works, what it does or how to use it. By using SpySites to set policies you will prevent sites from intruding on your privacy and possibly taking over your PC. Those annoying popups may still appear but their ability to set Cookies or perform other actions on your Computer will be blocked.

This software version | All versions -
Version: SpySites 1
Pros: A great joke. Very easy to uninstall too, which is a very important feature as you will find out.
Maybe some other stuff I didn't find out. Uninsatlled it within 5 min.
Cons: It is supposed to add all the dangerous sites into your restricted access zone for IE. So, i pressed the nortorious sites thing and pressed to add all to my restricted site zone. Then it did the incredible, it tried to add the dangerous sites to my trusted zone. How did I know? Microsoft antispyware saved me. I couldn't rate it lower.
