http://www.hotspotshield.com/ is prone to dropping out, and the free version has ads which pop up in a new browser window (quite intrusive). It sometimes slows the connection down considerably. However, if what you want is something you use on odd occasions, not for a prolonged browsing session, it might enable you to buy the odd book here and there, as if in USA.
http://www.expatshield.com/ is the same, but with a UK address.
You can't have them both installed at the same time; if you want both without uninstalling and reinstalling you need to buy the full version of hotspot shield, which gives you a choice of country, including Australia, UK, USA. Frankly, it drops too often to be worth paying for
I've had one or other installed for the past few years, and haven't had any security issues with them.
