Little confused - does "Freeware for a limited time" mean the software
is being given away free for a limited time, or you only have a
limited time to use the software?
Doing a search on Spyware Firewall 1.1 it shows payment of US$5.95 is
required from most sites.
Has anyone used this software, and if so, is it in fact free? Also
your opinion of the programme.
