 Had to reformat computer Sep 06, 2007
By Stephen Marietta
I installed this software, and immediately I was unable to use Outlook, see most websites, or use Yahoo email. I was unable to uninstall it.
I took my computer to my tech support guru, and he was unable to uninstall the CA Security, so in the end, after three days of screwing aroud with it, he had to completely reinstall Windows, and reload all of my other software.
I didn't like CA Security Suite.

Nothing but problems!!! Sep 17, 2007
By Steve Taylor
I bought this software (with the rebate that I never recieve) because I had heard good things about it from someone I trusted to know about security software. The flash drive installation seems like a good idea but the software has rendered the computer (3 months old) very frustrating to use. I tried to contact CA support and have never gotten a response from them. I would not recomend this product to anyone!

Do not buy this product! Nov 09, 2007
By Michal Shore
I bought this internet security suite because of the attractive price, features, and reviews, but when I installed it on my new Dell Inspiron 531, it slowed everything on my machine to an unbearable crawl. Since nothing seemed to alleviate the problem, I followed the instructions to uninstall it. When I booted up afterwards, my machine was still painfully slow. Putting the computer in safe mode, I discovered that the CA program files were still loaded and could not be deleted. After many hours of frustration, I finally managed to contact tech support online, and someone in India took control of my computer and finally was able to get the software totally off my machine. Right after that, my speed was back to normal. Given the frustration and time wasted on this software, I would never recommend it to anyone.

 good for 1 year on 3 computers, and you can choose the start date Aug 21, 2007

The best about this product is that you are allowed to choose what to install. For me, I always feel the windows firewall is as good as if not better than the third-party firewall. And I don't quite believe in email blockers. So I just installed personal internet antivirus on my computer. and I have had no problems so far. And I know my computer's speed will not be affected since only one function is installed. I used to have Northn Antivirus, my computer becomes extremely slow because Norton use up so much system resource. So I don't like it.
The USB drive is cute and more important, it's free to keep. The installation from the USB flash drive is easy. And you can use it on 3!! computers.
Overall, I strongly recommend it to everybody, especially someone who likes to micro-control their own pc and prefers a better system performance.

Excellent Product - Cool Little USB Flash Drive Aug 04, 2007
By Joel Trimble
I have been using CA products for about 5 years, starting with a free year anti-virus deal when Windows XP first came out. The new Security Suite works well and self-updates with no problems. And the little Flash Drive, about the size of my thumbnail, is so CUTE! I used it this week to take some home videos to work so my co-workers had an excuse to waste time. Everyone was very impressed that something so small could hold so much! The "catch" is that the CA software is on the Flash Drive, so you can't delete it until you have installed the software on three machines. All in all, a great deal for free. The last time I did this, it took the full ten weeks to get the rebate back. We'll see how it goes this time.
