Too bad the product is cumbersome and intertwined trying to do so much at one time. Sometimes a suite is not a good deal and all you get is a bundle of headaches.I found I was better off with ZoneAlarm Pro as my firewall and Norton Antivirus 2004 as my first line of defense against intruders, viruses and Trojans. Supplement it with Ad-aware and Pest Patrol, be religious about scanning your system on a regular basis and you should be free of any problems.And if you let your kid's surf the web on your PC, run the firewall and antivirus with the highest protection setting available.
