Hate it! Too slow, too invasive. Slows down your PC even when not used. Maybe not technically malware or spyware, but the unwanted toolbar in the browser and sending keystrokes to preferred advertisers make it pretty close. Installs a program called "Search Protect" which tied up 40%-70% CPU time from start up. To uninstall, you need to remove the Shield itself, then the Toolbar, then the Search Protect. Hate it!
Could not even watch UK TV on a 20MB connection - this program just slows everything down.
So slow I ended up clicking on an ad link which said it would remove the ads. Paid for this and then found that this referred to hot spot elite - only useful if you are in the US.
Then went through an endless round of e-mails with the help desk which could/would not help me.
Could not get my money back.
Then they automatically renewsed my subscription even though I had told them that I did not want this product.
Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS OR DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE DISHONEST AND UNHELPFUL!
