    Sounds like a combination of Firewall, antivirus, and adblock features all thrown into one.

    Only works with Internet Explorer, not to mention the following:

    That much memory and HDD space for such software? Heck! I mean, in a system with 1 GB of memory, it will consume more than 1/4 of memory. It's insane.

    That would make sense, considering the system requirements, which would be way too much for an application only checking links.

    Two of those features can easily be taken care of inside the browser without the huge overhead.

    It may be something to keep an eye on for the future. Maybe some day they will lower its memory usage. It would be worth wild if someone wanted to test it against some infected sites on a VM. That would be interesting.

    Hi guys,
    I guess some confusion is here. I am now trying it under RSS.
    1. It is not a suite. Its merely an addon like link scanner. But no search engine integration.
    2. It doesn't consume too much RAM or Space. See in the screenshots attached.
    3. Its for IE only, that's the sole problem with it. No startup item.

    Thank you for the screenshots.

    I was, indeed, finding odd the system requirements at the web site.

    It seems to be an interesting application.

    I tested with some fresh exploit pages from MDL. But many were blocked by my layered security. Other exploits were not blocked. So I am not confident with this app.
    I made a mistake. It does show ratings in some web search results.
    It didn't block a Fake AV which is detected by AhnLab.
