I have been using it for almost 10 months and have not experienced the problems mentioned.

I have used it for a good 4-6 months (I think) and have not encountered a single problem. I am using version 4.3, and it has absolutely no effect on my email whatsoever. I run Win98SE with Outlook Express 5.0 and Mailwasher.

I don't know about everyone else, but since I began using Proxo and IESPYAD my spyware cleaners (Spybot and Ad-Aware) have found nothing (except usage tracks w/Spybot) on my system whatsoever.

Ok does anyone know of any web sites that tell you how to configure Proxomitron for blocking web bugs and such?
