It assigns colors to supposedly illustrate how dangerous various programs are. The colors seem to be assigned randomly -- in any case, an explanatory note tells you not to make too much of the danger rating that it doesn't mean the programs are dangerous, just that they have the potential to be. You're promised more if you pay $29.95 but as the free trial part does not show anything, I really don't see the point.

My new computer came with XP SP2 installed and my DSL connection was incredibly slow. But the two other computers on my home network (a PC and a Mac) were just fine. I suspected this was caused by SP2 because I had installed SP2 on my other PC and my Internet connection had slowed down to the same crawling speed as on the new PC. I undid the install and looked around for a solution for the new PC (you can't separate SP2 from the newer XP versions). That's how I came across WinSock XP Fix. My problem didn't quite fit the description but I was desperate enough to try anything. It was like a miracle. It worked perfectly: my new PC is now finally connecting at normal DSL speed.
