Level 9 Technology's ArmorSurf Private Web Browser takes the fear out of online shopping. As more and more holiday shoppers go online, the greater the need for those shoppers to protect themselves. That's where ArmorSurf comes in. ArmorSurf is a free web browser that lets users surf in complete privacy while keeping their files secure.

When ArmorSurf's IP Masking feature is enabled, surfing activities become completely anonymous and untraceable. "Level 9 Technology's ArmorSurf browser takes the concept of 'for your eyes only' and applies it in a robust, privacy-centric Internet browser," Alexander Yoon, Yahoo! Tech ArmorSurf automatically encrypts and secures favorite websites and other personal data. The program also includes an encrypted file manager that stores all imported and downloaded files. "I'm surfing without fear (pretty much). No Web browser is bulletproof, but at least ArmorSurf stashes my history, cookies, and auto-complete info from prying eyes," Darren Gladstone, PC World Magazine

ArmorSurf can be installed secretly and a password is required to gain access to the program. Panic keys immediately close the program and a clever "forced confession" feature allows users to set up an alternate password that performs a different action instead of launching ArmorSurf.

In addition to privacy options, the software comes with advanced download and multimedia features, giving users the ability to download streaming Flash videos, burn video DVDs, and export movies to portable devices like cell phones and iPods.

Users can even install and run ArmorSurf directly from a USB key or an external hard drive, eliminating any traces whatsoever.
