Privacy Web Browser 'Browzar' Branded Adware

DivineOmega writes "The recently released 'Browzar' web browser, based on the Internet Explorer core, is designed to protect a user's privacy whilst surfing the Internet and be an effective 'throw-away' browser. However many who deal with the removal of malware have flagged this software as malware. From the article: 'The application Browzar has been branded "adware" by many because it directs web searches to online adverts. Some technical experts also say Browzar, which claims to leave no trail of webpages visited, does not work. Browzar's developers say they are examining the feedback but strongly deny that it is adware.'"

    Who in their right minds would use a browser called "Browzar" anyways? At least Ekiga doesn't look like a 1337 misspelling.

    1) Nobody cared about the first story ...and nobody cares now.
    2) I found it interesting both times...

    Ergo, you are nobody.
