I've been had for $100.00 !
Pros: C.A. Once were the best.
Cons: Now act as con artists
Review: I bought Etust antivirus & Pest Patrol in a CDN store. (Wanted to own/possess these softies) based on CA historical performances some 5 years back. Pest Patrol installing proggy skipped the installation of a few important files (An INI 4 instance) and was unable to launch at reboot. I paid $30USD for CA online techelp and moved that INI from C:\Windows\Temp to Pest Patrol folder to get the softy going. But Etrust was unable to detect/neutralize some 4 virus and Pest Patrol missed some 6 trojan /malwares that AVAST took care of efficiently.
While trying to resolve this issue, CA techelp appear to have given up my personal ISP email address to their "Partners/Associates" DigitalRiver and I now receive SPAMVERTIZEMENT for "Corel" bargains.
I will return all CA softies and file a formal complaint at the store head office as well as at the BBBureau.
CA fix their management strategy so that none can be reached in North America but only in "Law-Loose" countries such as India's free toll number.
SCAMMER type of behavior! DigitalRiver Alias server is located on TWTelecom where a known & recognized malware distribution website is also located : www.mirasearch.com speudo toolbar. A google search confirms the latter.
