Review by William Farrell

I bought this after trying it from Symantec. I could not recommend it highly enough; if you’re uncertain, I strongly recommend that you download the 14-day trial from their site and try it out. It is by far the best security suite out there.

I have had older versions of Symantec/Norton, which were horrible - bloated memory hogs that offered minimal protection. I went in search of something else when my Kaspersky 7 failed to catch a worm, and I had to restore from backup. PC Magazine and others were raving about this, and I tried it.

What is good?n- The memory footprint is tiny for a full security suite.n- The CPU usage is also minimal for a full security suite.n- It locks down IE and Firefox so downloads get scanned BEFORE they are saved to the hard disk, further minimizing risk.n- It offers the best protection against viruses, worms, malware, and phishing. Don’t believe me? Check […]n- It is easy to use. Seriously, you could put this on your mom’s computer without becoming her tech support department.n- It recieves updates not daily, nor hourly, but as they are released. On average, new signatures are added every few minutes!!!nnWhat is bad?n- Some of the more advanced features like firewall ports and specific scan settings can be hard to find in the simplified user interface.n- I have not tested the anti-spam, but I have heard it takes some training for it to work right.
