Review by N. Caruso

One could argue that Microsoft should be ashamed to sell a product like this which is only designed to protect you from the very troublesome issues of viruses, spyware and internet attack brought on by flaws in the Microsoft operating systems.

Of course, they might argue that since they know their own flaws better, they can do a better job of protecting you. I can’t tell long-term how this product will hold up, but it did install on my XP machine with no problems (other than requiring me to uninstall Adaware). It seems to do what it is supposed to do - protect me without bothering me. It has some nice features - it makes backing up look easy and seems to download updates without needing to go through a process, like Adaware or Spybot. I hope it works out. I like the idea of one-stop shopping for computer protection and with as little interference as possible. This seems to do the job.

Edited on August 28. I have taken this product off my computer. I ended up getting a major Trojan Horse attack and the little green light stayed on the whole time, telling me my system was operating perfectly. Meanwhile I was in big trouble. This product did not detect anything! If it wasn’t for Norton Antivirus I’d have been dead.
