Now I get the advertisement - always the same one that pops up as a newly opened webpage.

The brief trial of the full kit seemed ok but the US only version is proving a PITA.
Most my cafe browsing is done in Starbucks (Uk) and i am struggling to get into many sites at all. Others (e.g. Bbc it wants to take me to the global rather than uk site). However most of the time im getting "Hmm, we can't reach this page".
I'm happy to pay for the full fat version but not sure if this will fix my issue.
Cheers

I haven't switched it on so often since I started getting the pop up webpage; if it links in automatically (and it does that sometimes) I just switch it off.
That whole aspect of switching itself on means that in some way or other it is monitoring what I do on this computer and that made me "stop and think".
My sole use for it so far has been to secure the data between my computer and the router so I haven't tried accessing many webpages while connected via hotspot shield.
