The real problem with this is that many people will be caught by the marketing blurb and really think that they are 100% safe.

Maybe the FTC should be notified about this type of advertising.   Unless the software is thoroughly tested independently and the source code reveiwed or the specification at least there no way on knowing what hidden vulnerabilities exist.

Too many used car salemen are getting in on the security bandwagon because they think it is an easy sell.
