Heatseek Browser Focuses on Porn

LOS ANGELES – Browsing for adult content just got easier thanks to the launch of Heatseek, a webbrowser that claims to make searching for and viewing adult content more efficient. The browser is only compatible on PCs running Windows, and is powered by Internet Explorer’s engine.

While Heatseek’s stated mission is to “give consumers the ultimate software for securely obtaining, organizing, and viewing personal content,” it is clear security was a top priority in development.

Secure credentials are needed just to open the browser and encrypted downloaded files are only playable through Heatseek. The browser also claims to protect against popups, spyware and viruses.

“Heatseek began in 2005 when a few guys wondered why viewing adult content on a computer was so unfriendly to users,” the company’s website states. “We thought everyone must be so annoyed at popup windows, friends and spouses finding stuff on their computer, and viewing pics and videos with all these different programs that weren’t designed for this type of material. Thus, Heatseek was born.”

The browser’s user friendly features include one-click downloading for pictures and videos, a bookmark feature that allows users to jump to their favorite adult content and a “panic” button that kills the application immediately. Additionally, users can create playlists a la iTunes to efficiently organize downloaded content.

The basic version of Heatseek is free. A premium version is available for $20, which allows users to export their content back out to their hard drives in unencrypted form. Bonus content is included in Heatseek’s premium version.

For corporate users looking for a porn fix at work, Heatseek does not bypass monitoring software, so workers’ viewing habits will still be detected.

Webmasters interested in promoting or selling both versions of Heatseek to their surfers can join the Heatseek WorldCash affiliate program, expected to launch within the next few months.
