COSMI Stealth Web Surfer ( Windows )

Rating:
Summary: P.O.S. SPYWARE!!!
Review: This is nothing but a redistribution of Anonymizer. The first lie you are told is that this program will protect your privacy on the web. In order to protect your privacy on the web and supposedly surf the web anonymously (another lie) you have to type in your personal information; name, address, phone, e-mail, etc.; if you do not do this, the program will not run. This is a violation of the privacy the program was said to protect. Cosmi, unfortunately, has been selling as of late quite a few programs that are nothing more than disguised spyware. This is quite a contrast to the Cosmi (Starshine, Swift) that used to make very good programs available at a budget price. Apparently Cosmi has joined eGames among the list of software publishers to avoid; this is truly a shame. It is just plainly inexcuseable to disguise spyware as a program intended to protect your privacy.-Bob
