Browzar browser = BS + worse !!!

I tried this just out of interest a few days ago, round at a friends house. It was NOT possible to get into IE Options, to disable or put onto Prompt, things like ActiveX/Scripting/Java/Iframes etc.

So it's certainly NOT secure at all ! They might have tinkered with the Cookies + History, but Secure, don't think so.

Try resetting the Homepage etc ? Only possible with a hack !

New secure browser Browzar is fake and full of adware

Social news rave about Browzar - they claim it a new secure browser leaving no footprints. After looking at it closer, I found out that it’s not a browser at all, and moreover, this software thrusts search via it’s own PPC-SE full of ads on user.

Etc -

It's Just Another IE Shell.

Thank makes it not a Browser and an outright lie from the very beginning.

Some have also called it adware.

An alternative, to really "leave no footprints", is portable Firefox. It can be run from a USB drive. This is suitable for situations such as internet cafés where they provide the computers and you don't trust them.
