Bad news for Browsezilla users it seems

A free web browser that claims to cover your tracks when visiting pornographic sites turns out to be a click fraud engine, security firm Panda Software has claimed.

The Spanish firm issued a warning on Friday that Browsezilla installs malware which periodically connects to web pages with adult content. The pages are not visible to the user, as the objective is to fraudulently increase the number of hits on the sites, Panda Software claims. The company offers free software to remove the malware.

Browsezilla is a browser, which according to its website - "don't use history", "don't save cache" and "don't save URL". It also allows users to save their bookmarks on a remote server. The browser appears to be most popular in Italy.

Browsezilla immediately responded to Panda's press release, claiming the information is "false and puts the serious loss to reputation of our browser, and also puts the financial losses connected with significant reduction number of users, number of potential users and refusal of other sites in cooperation". It is threatening Panda with "claims for compensation".

I,m sure Panda have got this one right folks especially since the address that was given to set up the Browsezilla website was bogus.

Time to hit the uninstall button I think  :shock:

Time to hit the uninstall button I think  :shock:

1. does Me Here know you have installed programs that have a sole purpose of being used to visit pornographic websites?
2. if so, what does she have to say about it?
3. why not just do what everyone else does and use your normal browser and if you're so paranoid about her finding out then don't let her use your computer...?
4. if you're so paranoid about her finding out... oops...

You seem to be mistaken KM, as you are more than aware I use ordinary IE with no frills or gimmicks in my setup, it does as it is supposed to.

I was just warning you as a friend in case you had such a browser
