Version: XMicro Internet Security: Anonymous Surfing 2
Cons: It is impossible to tell how good this program is, and this is why:
In this trial version, the process of checking proxies is EXTREMELY slow and the list of proxies is VERY limited.
Once the program had put you through the torture of checking available in this trial version proxies, you - or the program- choose the fastest connection- and when you use it, you are facing the connection speed which can only be described as DIAL-UP B.C. Watching my computer agony while it was loading the multiple frames, I was thinking that sending them via U.S. Postal Service would be faster. And I have a High Speed Connection.
This program has an 8-day trial limit, and whoever is in charge of the marketing of this program should have realized that this limitation was good enough.
But- Noooooooooo.
They?ve put on top of it- the lousiest proxy connections list, thinking that it will induce me to buy the full version.
Effect of this ingenious sales strategy is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE.
Why? Very simple.
Right now I am not sure, if this proxy list will be improved once I paid my money, or it will remain the lousy self, shown in the trial version.
I am not risking my money to find out.
I would strongly suggest to fire your marketing Genius and stick with the idea that when you are trying to show off (which the entire purpose of the DEMO is)- try at least to pretend that you look good.
The program ?Hide My IP? listed on Cnet has only 3 days and 1 fake IP limit- but IT IS FLYING!
So, until the people in Xmicro fix this slow speed connection annoyance in the trial version - I can not tell if this program is good or bad. As a user I don?t care about anything, but ? how little speed I loose while using proxy, how few buttons I have to push and how stable my fake IP is.
The performance of the program is killed by the snail like proxies provided in the trial version.
