Review:
I've had this program for as long as I've had my current desktop. I've found the interface easy to use and I like that it allows me to take control on what programs access the internet. I also like that it informs me of any dubious attempts to connect to my computer, lets me know where in the world the attempt was made from, and then reports the attempt back to the owner of the IP. HOWEVER, this program has an element called True Vector that wreaks all kinds of havok on Windows systems, causing every kind of system failure imaginable. If you use your computer to play video games or watch DVDs or edit video footage then you do not want this product. You can search for "true vector" online and you will see the widespread problem that it is. I don't know why they haven't attempted to fix it, but it renders the EZArmor program worthless. And the only suggestion I recieved from Tech Support was the usual "uninstall and reinstall" after which they sent me an email saying they considered the problem resolved...even though my computer is still crashing every few minutes.
