AnchorFree Hotspot Shield
Re: AnchorFree Hotspot Shield

First of transmitting sensitive data over wireless is a dumb idea. Encryption is not going to fix that. Transmitting it over a public wireless hub is even less of a good idea.
That said using a VPN is generally a good idea from a security standpoint as long as you can be relatively sure that the VPN itself isn't compromised, because that can make the situation much worse. So it comes down to do you trust the company providing this service not to record you credit card information and passwords?
Also keep in mind that there is a performance penalty to using a VPN in both speed and latency, so don't try to play Quake/Doom/Starcraft/etc over the VPN.
As for this company in specific I have never heard of them.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
