It's a pain to keep on when you're surfing but if you have broadband and keep your computer on all the time...

Im sorry, but I wouldnt use this product.

As far as I know its phoning home without asking the user.

This is from a german site and the guy writing this post isnt dumb, believe me.
Basically its phoning home some (compared to other phonehomesoft, a lot of) data from the user, his system and surfing behaviour.
I dislike such programs.

If you want to rise your security, you should use a firewall which gives you active/java/cookie control.
One of the best is atguard (bought by symantec and discontinued).
A newer one, still beta (Im a tester), is Outpost from Agnitum.

Current version is stable.

Only some suggestions

I agree with you WizzOzz but so many programs do the same thing now. I have about 10! I'm used to it. There is no privacy on the net.
