Its front-line defenses are only for a small number of programs, but this program effectively launches certain applications on your system in safe mode. Amust 1-Defender quickly shifts Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Messenger into safe mode to protect your PC from malware. Its trendy interface runs a scan bar to pass the time as it shifts its protection on. A small green shield was placed alongside IE's logo on the title bar to let us know it was working.

We were glad that, as we surfed, we noticed no slowdowns. Any downloads are subject to a quick scan. No problems were revealed during our testing here either. You'll be able to easily bypass Amust 1-Defender's safe mode shifters by holding down a hot key while clicking a link, opening the page in standard unsecured mode.

While we like its noninvasive approach to protecting our system, this software's coverage is minimal. Free to all, its quick-change protection works great, but most folks will want more comprehensive protection.

Summary
It's Not So Great
Reborn masterMay 18, 2007
Pros
It' easy to install and use.Protects against some limited number of well KNOWN spyware and keyloggers.It doesn't slow down your Internet performance.
Cons
Doesn't work with Firefox or Opera.Lots malware can bypass it's security.Have to manually start this program with Ie.Has many bugs and errors.This tool needs a lot of work.
Summary
Superb IE Add On
invenitApril 25, 2007
Pros
Very cool IE add on for WinXP. No hassles--after it is correctly set up.
Cons
Works best following a new install. Load it--with IE set as the default browser--and you're good to go. No experience with either OE or Messenger since I do not use those products.
Summary
Great for a free apt

Install it and forget it.
Cons
None so far.

Took over IE Browser... Not cool!
rlmarrJuly 16, 2006
Pros
Nada!
Cons
Took over IE Browser... Not cool! Never even got to use the program. Also made IE unstable. I have not given many reviews since most programs I try to research and read the reviews. It may have been something I did on my end. After downloading and installing this program my surfing with IE was shot down. Maybe something can be done about this.
Summary
excellent first line of defense against the nasties
hbc41July 7, 2006
Pros
small program that basically starts internet explorer, outlook and windows messenger in least privileged user account mode which makes it more difficult for malware to attack and do damage as explained in the article written by jenni merrifield at microsoft technet (microsoft.com/technet...) i would view as a first line of defense, running these programs in non-administrator mode. i noticed no difference in surfing but may need to override or use ie without it when downloading something that needs administrator's approval; it will leave old ie icon alone on desktop and place another icon with amust symbol on desktop so you have a choice on how to start.
Cons
requires ie to be default browser and only works with above numerated microsoft programs; installed and works fine with ie7 on one computer but does not work on another, causing microsoft office outlook 2003 to freeze and ie to close after opening due to error-i suspect those problems are tied to spyware doctor being on that computer which has also experienced problems with winpatrol and a failure to install ie 7 which i attribute, more likely than not, as a problem with spy doctor rather than those programs-all work fine in peace and harmony with microsoft defender and spy sweeper on another computer. if problem is due to amust, i would take it down a *.

Life saver

AvisRaraApril 21, 2006
Pros
The best program of this kind I ever seen. It presents a comprehensive solution for safe and secure internet browsing. Moreover, it really does not affect to web surfing speed. I do not have any problems running this program. Thanks!!!
Cons
Summary
Great utility, I wouldn't be without it
Ted_kjApril 14, 2006
Pros
A software that I have been looking for a long time now - it's protecting both IE and Outlook.
Cons
Summary
Already in Windows Internet Explorer 7
metmichallicaApril 13, 2006
Pros
Don't need this add on.
Cons
just download and install Windows Internet Explorer Beta 2, it's a pretty stable version. I been using Beta 2 for a couple of weeks and had absolutely no problems with it. <p> <p>(2) Run a limited user account, when you don't have software to install and you're protected without the need for this software.
