bad produtc
very difficult to install, the worst thing about it is if you do not renew your license it will demage your computer badly with a bunch of viruses.
I’ve been using CA’s anti-virus software for years now. I’m on a dedicated DSL connection and have had no problems with infections or connectivity. The few times I did receive a virus (via email), CA anti virus locked in on it right away.
This is the most unobtrusive anti-virus software I’ve seen (and as the “computer guy” amongst my friends and family, I’ve seen a lot!). The real-time protection barely registers on the CPU. Full scans, like most other similar products, do take away from system resources; I recommend configuring the software to run full scans at convenient times or manually.
The auto-update feature works well. I’m occasionally asked to reboot after an update – I’m guessing this is a binary update and not the virus signatures.
The 3 computer license is very handy as many homes have multiple PCs.
This is a mature product that does its job without hampering your daily usage of the computer – what more do you need??

The Best For bare essentials
Forget about the firewall (don’t install it) If you just use the anti-virus it’s one of the best buys on the market.

Does its job. Can find at reasonable price
I buy this software for really cheap – about $3 I think. It is one year old when I buy it but you get free updates to the current software for a year.
Quirky. I downloaded the Vista update and installed. First reboot made my computer hang. Not a big deal… I reset. Hung again. Got into safe-mode and uninstalled. Installed again, same problem. Third time was the charm.
Strange, since this is the software Microsoft uses internally.
No issues since third time. Besides those issues, fantastic. Uses very little resources and does not take over your computer (ala Norton Anti-Productivity). Great bargin as well.
The best about this product is that you are allowed to choose what to install. For me, I always feel the windows firewall is as good as if not better than the third-party firewall. And I don’t quite believe in email blockers. So I just installed personal internet antivirus on my computer. and I have had no problems so far. And I know my computer’s speed will not be affected since only one function is installed. I used to have Northn Antivirus, my computer becomes extremely slow because Norton use up so much system resource. So I don’t like it.
The USB drive is cute and more important, it’s free to keep. The installation from the USB flash drive is easy. And you can use it on 3!! computers.
Overall, I strongly recommend it to everybody, especially someone who likes to micro-control their own pc and prefers a better system performance.

Not worth trying this one on Vista OS
I bought this in May 2007, and installed it on a machine with Vista OS. Right away I experienced problems with the firewall blocking all internet access.

Customer Support???
This company has no customer support. It blocks your internet access. Shutting it off doesn’t work; you have to uninstall it to get your internet access back.

Same issues with Firewall not working with IE/Renewal $$$$
I had the same experience with one of the other reviewers, the firewall occassionally blocks my IE access. I had to do the same thing – turn off firewall and then it worked.

I bought this software after reading other reviews. It was delivered very fast and I had no problem installing it on my computer or my husbands.

An Incredible Pain in the Rear
If you thought Norton or McAfee are intrusive when they want you to run an update, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Does not play well with others Oink Oink
I got this as part of the whole suite when I bought tax software.
The first problem I had was the firewall was stopping all internet access.
