Does Privitize VPN work?

Thread Starter 
So I see on TPB they have a IP masker. Having received a letter or 2 in the past from people not happy with me I'm wondering if it does what it says it does. I almost never down load anymore but I'm curious, seems to good to be true right?

One slight glitch is that when getting this free VPN, a Babylon toolbar is installed on your computer, without providing a prior option of opting out of it. You can, however, remove the toolbar later.

Also, some users who have tried their hands on this free VPN claim that the service is not working for now. Folks behind the Privitize VPN say that they are working on it and the service will be working fine soon.
Taken from source. I helped another member get rid of the toolbar (which I believe is the root of all evil) which comes with the VPN. The fact that this is just another VPN, advertised on TPB, with no affiliation to the service at all, is considered malware by me.
10/10 - wouldn/t install.
