eTrust Internet Security Suite

Mediocre Collection of Internet Security Software

Posted Aug 24, 2007 - CA's collection of Internet Security software is pretty well rounded in terms of functionality. You have antivirus, antispyware, anti-spam, and a firewall all bundled into a single, convenient package. However, the individual tools are not individually great. The antivirus seems to work well, but the antispyware is not as good as others out there. Also, my main complaint is that CA software tends to be quite heavy on system resources. Of course, other AV products have the same failing (Symantec, for example comes to mind), it is still a rather harsh weak point in my opinion. If you need a nicely packaged bundle and can find this one cheap or free with rebates, consider it. However, if you are willing to buy the pieces separately from other vendors, I think that you'll be happier in the long run.

eTrust Internet Security Suite

Posted Dec 30, 2007 - This suite claims to provide comprehensive protection against viruses, hackers, spyware, spam, etc. to protect your privacy, data, and PC’s performance. However, it seems that they don't live up to their claim. Each software just did a mediocre job in its area. Many of the free software available on the internet do better jobs.

Computer Associates eTrust Internet Security Suite (PC)

Posted Nov 27, 2007 - This software package, at first glance, seems decent. It has all the software you would expect to find in an internet security suite, and the price is right. However, the software is excessively bloated, and of questionable effectiveness. Its only saving grace is that its free after rebate. I would go with different software to secure my machine.
