"Stay away from Stealther. Stealther is described as a proxy program that helps enhance your anonymity and safety while surfing the Internet. In reality it's nothing more than a worthless clickthrough/advertising trojan. Instead of enhancing anonymity and security it phones home and "registers" your IP address, exchanges information, and then proceeds to secretly visit various porno and other sites with your IP as it racks up advertising dollars for the author. Not once does it notify users of its actions or offer them the choice of opting out.
"After seeing this POS trojan in action I though I might try to salvage something useful by at least capturing the location of its proxy list. After it phones home it also retrieves a current proxy list from their site. It turns out their list is about as worthless as the program itself. It contained a grand total of ** proxies. Of which 27 were dead and 4 were transparent. What a joke. If you care to check it out for yourself here's the links.
