I have been using the CA Internet Security Suite for over a year. Simply
because it is free. I see nothing in those reviews that I could disagree
with. You could probably find a few sites with good reviews, but as soon as
budgetary constraints permit I am changing to something else.... might even
go with the various free stuff that is so popular here.
Norton was a verious serious resource hog for several years... especially in
the various "suites" they offer. Rumour has it they have cleaned up thier
act, but I have not heard enough people say how wonderful it is now to make
me want to buy it yet.
