It is quite disappointing if you try to visit a website and it is blocked by your administrator or by your ISP.
I have tried many type of proxy servers such as web based proxy, http proxy and others but those things are not reliable.

On a web based proxy, the ads on the page is very annoying & sometimes scripts on the page doesn’t work.
On a http proxy, you need to go to a long process of editing the connection settings of your browser and then put the IP address of the server.

Then I found this FREE VPN service offered by ItsHidden.com.
For the past few months I’ve been using ItsHidden.com to un-block those sites that is being filtered by my ISP.

ItsHidden.com is the ultimate FREE surfing privacy service on the Internet.
No need for software to install, you already have everything you need on your computer. ItsHidden.com is fast, safe, easy to use.

To try it, just register your own free ItsHidden.com account and create new VPN connection then use the username and password you have created and then use vpn.itshidden.com as server.

Microsoft says around 400,000 PCs infected with Fake ‘Antivirus 2009′ Software. If your system has any of the above mentioned rogue programs, you should scan your PC with Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool or use Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware to clean your PC.
