It sounds good in theory, but I have my qualms.
Smartalec Internet Security Suite 2004 combines a firewall, and anti-worm block, and a spam blocker, all for $20. But when I click on the main link to buy it from their online website,
Live Wire Media, I’m diverted to a website inviting me to
get paid for doing surveys. Is this a mix-up, an elaborate scam, or is the company that makes Smartalec also on the other side of the spam business? I like to use software which isn’t from the big boys, but nowadays it pays to check the provenance of even the most kosher-sounding programs.
(This, in case you’re interested, is the
page advertising the product, and this is the
link inviting you to go for more information, which then seems to default to the PayForSurveys.com website.)
