It’s frustrating because the initial write-up sounds so good, so secure and worthwhile. then teh comments come in negative. I have no idea how researched or legit the author actually is? Who watches HIM to make sure this is all correct and legit?

I have read now both sides of this picture, but only from a very few individuals. I would like to hear from more people on this subject. I understand that servers have been easily hacked.

Thanks for sharing this info. I wouldn’t, however, not feel very comfortable logging into bank account etc. Even if some websites are said to be really secure, I would be cautious.

VPN is a total disaster!!!! When you use it – you are giving total access to your computer to the server you are using it through – it is totally unsecure – so, be forewarned that this it more risky than a direct connection thru WiFi

WOT fails, but I did a scan of the EXE file in VirusTotal and there were no signs of malware or spyware according to the report. Not sure why WOT fails, I am guessing because they have a crappier website, but the software is not dangerous.

The download link for this is rated RED by WO. Users claim viri, malware, crashes and hijack. Is there another link that’s safer or is the app itself dangerous to deploy? You guys are usually more thorough in your research.
