GhostSurf 2007 Platinum
I think it great these are the first bad reviews I have read and was surprised! the 2, HI reviews a day apart
are the same guy with a chip on his shoulder.just go into Norton security’s APP permission setting if there a problem. the only draw back is setting a lot of programs Internet setting to proxy setting. as for the spycatcher works very well! A+. you can get the spycatcher express for free. I had the trial was impressed and ordered it. if one of your forums will not let you log on just lower the settings for that site or permit cookies.

I feel this product is awesome for the price.
Unfortunately I had to uninstall the software after two days because I have Norton also installed and think the programs were uncompatible. I kept having to run in safe mode half the times to get into my Vista user even after I changed default options.
But I enjoyed all the features when I could get in and am waiting for their support to get back with me on my questions about compatibility.
I really regret having to remove this software from my computer. Any one of the features that come with the product are worth the purchase price, IMO.

GhostSurf 2007 Platinum is a poltergeist that will scare away the spammers, scammers, and myriad other Internet miscreants. This security application is used to make yourself invisible on the Internet, but will it provide complete Internet anonymity?
GhostSurf 2007 Platinum is a security application used to make yourself invisible on the Internet. To the uninitiated, anonymous Internet surfing may seem like a no-brainer. In truth, it is quite difficult. GhostSurf 2007 Platinum can be used to both surf anonymously and to also remove nearly every trace of your online activity.
The need for products such as GhostSurf becomes obvious in light of a recent CNN report [...] detailing that based on the weather reports and restaurant listings you check out online, search engines such as Yahoo have a good idea where you live. And based on searches you’ve done, the web portal might also know where you want to go. Users, then, should not be surprised to suddenly see an advertisement for flight deals between those two places. It’s what United Airlines did with an ad on Yahoo earlier this year as people browsed for something completely unrelated to travel. Elsewhere, online hangout Facebook is mining friends’ buying habits, and major Internet portals have bought companies to expand their reach and capabilities for “behavioral targeting”–all so advertisers can try to hit you with what they believe you’re most likely to buy, even as doing so means amassing more data on you.
With that, you may find you really need GhostSurf 2007 Platinum, which is a proxy. Rather than you surfing directly to a website, it reroutes your requests via its anonymous proxy. You get the same Internet experience, but remote sites have no way to trace activities back to you.
For those who are serious about security and privacy, and don’t want to be bothered by spammers, phishers, and myriad other scams and threats, GhostSurf 2007 Platinum gets the job done.
The GhostSurf 2007 Platinum user interface, like that of many products, could use a thorough overhaul from a user interface specialist. The underlying issue is that GhostSurf performs a lot of different tasks. Providing access to Internet link encryption, web surfing trace removal, spyware protection, banner ad blocking, and more creates an interface that is unintuitive and confusing.
The interface has six separate configuration panes. The functionality of the product is there, but an uninitiated user can easily make configuration mistakes. Also, six separate panes can be a lot to deal with. What the product needs is a main dashboard so you can quickly see what functionality is active and working and what is not.
Overall, GhostSurf 2007 Platinum is an excellent tool for most users in their battle to stay secure and anonymous on the Internet. The anonymous surfing and security made available with GhostSurf 2007 Platinum is about as close to complete Internet anonymity as is practically possible. Reasonably priced and well-supported, the package gives most users all they need to ensure their Internet experience is anonymous. The irony is that the people who could use it the most are likely not to even know about it, while those who use good security practices are likely to already have this valuable product in their toolbox.

Ruined my computer!! I cannot believe I downloaded this”
Pros: NOTHING. Though once I called them 20 times they did call me back.
Cons: This crashed my computer. I had to take it to a professional to have it repaired. The file they gave me to get rid of this program did not work. It made my computer crash, wouldn’t let IE open or Outlook. It basically ate my entire system.
Summary: I read another review that said that they couldn’t get this program off their computer either and I have found many more people who have had huge problems posting complaints online. The good news is this file is embedded so deep in your computer and doesn’t come with an uninstall option so it requires a third party uninstall tool to get it off, which coincidentally Tenebril sells one. What a racket! I had to take my computer to a professional to be repaired– in fact it is still being fixed right now.
It was really hard to find their phone number so I will post it here: 1.800.722.7770 this will take you to Process Software, which owns Tenebril. Another number is 508.879.6994, this is the CEOs office. Though the staff did try and help me after I called several times the solution did not work and my computer was still non-functioning. If I turned it off I could not get it to turn back on until I had manually stopped several of their processes. It even prevented me from being able to run my computer in Safe Mode.
Both of these companies are owned by Halo Technology Holding, Inc. which apparently made over 25 million dollars last year by running this scheme. Even though I just used the free trial option I will tell you it was not free at all and has caused so many problems and headaches that I feel like I am still paying for it.
I cannot believe anyone gave this a good review. I would have never installed this program had I read all the horrible problems I found on search engines.
Also, here is the website that will actually get you to the correct company [....]
Once again, this program SUCKS

I have two computers(one is running windows xp, and the other is running windows vista.) This product runs great on my windows xp. This product will not run on my windows vista-despite the fact that it can run on windows vista. I downloaded it onto my windows vista and my computer stopped working. I had to run the computer in safe mode just to uninstall it.
If you are running windows xp, I highly recomend using Ghostsurf and Kasperski internet security. Kasperski internet security is an anti-virus and anti-spyware.I have both of these installed and they work great together.
If you are using windows vista, I highly recomend using Kasperski internet security and Stopzilla anti-spyware. Stopzilla is similar to ghostsurf except it doesn’t encript your passwords and it works on windows vista.
