"Very very dissapointing"
Pros: absolutely none
Cons: destroys everything
Summary: I have used EZ products (armor - firewall and anti-virus) for many many years. I have five full licences - all used on XP pro machines from laptops to servers. As usual, I upgraded my core engine when CA advised that they has a new and "better" core process.
This could be no further from the truth.
Every machine had immedaite problems including incessant "windows violation warnings" - utter and complete slowdown to a crawl on all machines even 2Ghz dual processor machines.
Worst still, CA said that the problem was someone elses software and to fix I had to uninstall everything else and reinstall one at a time to find the culprit. They then sent me a satisfaction survey to fill in since they claimed that they had solved my problem !!!
Fortunately I still had an archive copy of the old r2 program and I unistalled the 2007 (very very difficult as Windows protests severely and almost stops the process by literally dozens of violation dialogs) and reinstalled the old program - on all machines and now no more problems.
If that is not proof that the new CA Internet Security Suite is rubbish, I don't know what is !
I now need to look for new protection software since after years of giving CA hundreds of dollars a year, I have entirely lost faith in that company and any of its products.

well i work at a bank that has 20 firewalls (servers) and we have this suite on all of ours... and for some reason they seem to WORK becuase we ACTUALLY went into the firewall and ALLOWED the programs that we WANTED to go THROUGH and the sites we wanted to allow also i understand about the old products but mabye you should go through the settings next time i would highly recommend u doing this becuase it has blocked almost 2 million hackers out of our servers (which are 2 GHZ dual core also) and they fly they dont run like a crawl as your describing so just give them a chance and actually go through the program
THANK YOU
bye
