Publisher's description of ViewSmart 2.9
From ViewFour:ViewSmart is Web-based software that removes the dangers of surfing the NET. While you are browsing in Viewfour.com's multi-window environment, ViewSmart software scans each Web page prior to displaying it and stops all files from being automatically downloaded without your knowledge. If a page fails our scan, a large red border and stop sign will appear around the window. This means you are 100% protected from contracting viruses, adware, spyware, and other forms of malware while surfing the Web. ViewSmart removes the risk and permits you to surf safely with built in security. In addition, we offer a way to search the Web.
Instead of a search result returning a text list of page summaries -- you will actually see the Web sites themselves. Clicking through to a site automatically invokes ViewSmart, which virtually removes the risks involved with navigating the Web. A toolbar is installed in your browser for your convenience.

Version: ViewSmart 2.9
"How refreshing to see such highly original useful software!"
Pros: I don't know about everyone else, but I can honestly say that this is the most exciting original product that I have downloaded for a very long time!
At a time when so many software publishers
seem happy to produce the same tired software, with a few small variations here and there, albeit some better then others, this is like a fresh breath of air!...
I wish that sites like this had a category for the most original software. If they did this would certainly be up there with the best...
These days too many similar products that do the same thing end up with maximum ratings. Many software publishers can simply sell the same tired software to a static audience, without coming up with new innovative ideas! This sadly devalues the whole rating system!..
ViewSmart is one of the few products that I have downloaded in recent times that deserves five stars+ for both originality and usefulness!....
Cons: None worth talking about!

Version: ViewSmart 2.9
"Revolutinary Advanced New Way to Search!"
Pros: This is truly a disruptive new technology, that enables you to actually see the display results of your searches, in lieu the the normal lines of text, and you can specify whether to display 4, 6, 8 or 10 pages. ViewFour also gives you the resources of Google, MSN, Yahoo, FindWhat and other sites, plus the protection of ViewSmart's anti-spyware/adware/malware/virus software. If you are searching for instance, medical reports, the search actually displays PDF files opened in the requested number of windows, a great time-saver. And one of the best features is the edge of the search results windows are color-coded so you can see if it is a paid site, a most revelant site that came to the top of the search, or best of all if red bordered it is some type of spyware/adware/malware infected or enabled site..ViewSmart is simply the best of its' class! 5 + Stars!

"Very useful tool to get to your results quickly"
Pros: I downloaded this for the protection - it does that very well. However I find that it's best feature is the visual browsing. I find my results much quicker than using a search engine that just provides a list.
Cons: It attempts to be intuitive but it takes some learning to use. Once I figured out how how to make my windows bigger and get more than 4 results at once (through preferences) it was much easier to use. I now can see a bigger portion of the websites and 10 of them at a time.

Version: ViewSmart 2.9
Pros: When I first downloaded ViewSmart I really did not understand exactly what it was. I thought it was a Spyware removal tool. I have come to find out after watching their tutorial that it is a Spyware Prevention tool. It will not remove spyware from your computer. Since I have none, this is just fine :)
I have to say, as far as searching goes, it is the coolest thing ever. You enter a keyword, and click search. Instead of seeing a page of descriptions and junk, you actually see the web pages. Not sure how they do that, but it works!
Cons: The only thing I dont like about this, is that I have to stay on the ViewFour.com website for it to work. I sent an email to their feedback suggesting that they figure out how to get their Spyware protection to work when I am surfing outside of ViewFour.
