Works fine for me
Pros: There are a bevy of anonymous surfing programs out there that use public proxy servers, but there is no way to know when those servers (some in places like Turkey and Iran) are actually fronts for malware operators who collect your IP or even plant malware on your computer! The main reason I like Anonymizer is that they own their own servers--your guarantee that you aren't getting scammed.
Another reviewer said Anonymizer slows his surfing down badly. I have not had that experience. I have a high-speed connection (cable). I notice a VERY slight slowly but hardly noticeable, I had to pay attention closely to notice it at all and sometimes there is no slowing at all.
Cons: The Download.com reviewer is right about lengthy download and install time. Installation on my XP system took six full minutes and that doesn't count the download time. There's 31 megs of code so I don't know why you would expect it to take any less, however. You can't have it all.
