Does anyone know or ever heard of this-just curious ??? ???

I suggest a search of the forums for anonymizer as I'm sure it has been discussed before and possibly because it and web shield don't work together (not sure about the last bit).

Pros: It has a nice interface and ease of use.

Cons: This download installed NSIS Media Extension on my system, this is a malicious trojan and you'll pull your hair out trying to get rid of it.

have a good one davidr ;)

No, it can work. Just configure WebShield to work with a proxy (the proxy used by the annonimizer).

I suggest you change the link to something that isn't live.  :)
