Rating:  - Only works with Microsoft e-mail clients
If you are security minded and choose to use an e-mail client like Thunderbird or the bundled Opera e-mail client this program will NOT protect you! Not only that, but the fact that CA Anti-virus will ONLY work with MS Outlook or Outlook Express is not revealed in any documentation. I found this out the hard way when a manual scan found a virus in my Opera mail folder and couldn't clean or quarantine it! The CA tech confirmed that the AV program only works with MS e-mail clients. To me this is ... Read More
Rating:  - EZ Trust... well, it's half right.
Yes, it's easy to install, configure and use. The footprint is small and it doesn't hog resources. That's the good news. The bad news is that this software's virus detection rate is abysmal and the company's tech support is worse. So, in short, don't *trust* it.

Rating:  - WoW!
I just finished writing a review for eTrust's Internet Security package after I saw the unbelievable amount of negative responses.

I have installed ver. 7 of this software on four computers, two running XP Pro and two with Win98SE. Absolutely no problems with installation on any computers, no software broke, the updates work fine, the automatic scans work fine, and several viruses have been intercepted in email. (Yes, of course the program scans email.)
Zone Labs of ZoneAlarm fame uses CA Antivirus in their Security Suite, and THAT works fine in a couple of other computers that I manage.
The program uses ... Read More
Rating: - breaks other programs, can't uninstall
DONT BUY OR EVEN INSTALL A TRIAL OF THIS SOFTWARE UNTIL YOU READ THIS!!!
I tried this program on a recommendation from the Microsoft web site, that should have been a warning right there. On install the etrust antivirus software (nothing else just antivirus) broke my Zone Alarm firewall, interrupted internet browsing and caused the system to hang up. I uninstalled it and have tried installing other antivirus programs since then but none of them will install; they keep popping up with guess what ... Read More
