What a FARCE this product is !
I have been using Anonymizer for the last couple of years and i have been relativeley pleased with my experiece with it. Recently though, it has become much slower than it once used to be (even though my PC runs perfectly well without it), so i have decided to scout around for another product.
The rave reveiws from magazines suggested that GHOSTSURF 2005 PLATINUM is a good alternative to the Anonymizer service and so this spurred me on to look a bit more closely at the software.
It was only when i started reading the user reveiws of the Ghostsurf 2005 Platinum product, that i began to have apprehensions about it. Virtually all the people that had tried it, had something bad to say about their experience.
My subscription to Anonymizer had already elapsed, and in spite of the poor reveiws, i opted to give the GhostSurf a try via their Free 15 day Trial.
Having downloaded the trial version from their homepage, i was ready to give GhostSurf a shot. I tried to start it to run, and was then informed that i had already run the 15 day trial version on my PC, so i would need to 'buy' the unlock code.
I knew this to be totally untrue...Only i have access to my PC and i have owned it from new, and i have NEVER before even heard of GhostSurf, let alone try it on my PC.
I was a little p***ed off at having wasted my time loading the program, and i duly un-installed it from my hard drive....but after uninstalling, i recieved the message that not all its components had been uninstalled and that this would have to be done manually!
According to the professional reveiwers of ghostsurf, (who no doubt benefit financially from advertising placed by ghostsurf), the product is better than sliced bread ! ....but according to real people who have succumbed to the reveiws and downloaded the product, it is a total waste of time ( and in some cases has caused real problems for them)
You can guess that my opinion of GS is not very complimentary.
I would really ha
