CA Internet Security Suite 2007 Reviewed on 03/02/2007

The Bottom Line: CA Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a pasted-together trial version of what CA offers in terms of consumer protection. The suite fails to integrate and lacks antiphishing, antirootkit, and basic IM protection found elsewhere.

Specs: 1 user, Complete package, 300 MHz Intel Pentium, CD-ROM
