NetBrowserPro: The Latest Bad Idea for a Web Browser

First, there was Yap!

Then, there was Safety!

After that, we had Browsezilla!

Now, we have....NetBrowserPro.

It claims to aid you in your porn surfing antics - however, they don't seem to mention the Rootkit technology employed or that the Codec it prompts you to install is one of those wonderful Fake Codecs we all know and love so well.

NetBrowserPro lets you click into apparently random galleries of porn that are hosted elsewhere - however, some of those links take you not to your chosen porn gallery, but redirected pages where they have wall to wall images of completely random things. A few times when running it, I was taken to sites that contained, well, models that looked dubious in terms of their age. Sure, they could well be legal - but then again, you have no clue what you're going to be redirected to, or if you're going to be redirected at all. If the makers of this thing can't guarantee that clicking a picture of a hot latina chick will take you to.....a hot latina chick, then they have no business putting this thing out there for download. It only has to take one rogue page, one rogue link and BAM........you suddenly have something spectacularly dodgy on your PC.

Is that worth the risk? Hell, no.

Take my advice, and steer well clear. If you haven't already done so, click here to read the full summary. Then run away.
