Guest Valley_R Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Anyone have experience with Cox Communications Security Suite? I'm considering dumping Norton and going with Cox's Security Suite since it is free (or included) as a subscriber to Cox High Speed. Do you know if Cox is powered by Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro or is it stand alone? Thanks! -Arizona Quote

Personally, I do not recommend these types of software packages at all. Definitely dump Norton and go with a stand-alone A-V software install such as NOD32 http://www.eset.com *Not free* - well worth the small investment.

Agreed - no product plug intended or implied. Kaspersky is one of the best A-V scanners available. You get what you pay for. Freeware scanners are dubious at best. Protect your investment and data, *buy* one. My 2 cents... <wink> Silj -- siljaline MS - MVP Windows (IE/OE) & Security, AH-VSOP _________________________________________ Security Tools Updates http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=31 Reply to group, as return address is invalid that we may all benefit.

Guest Milo \(MSPSS\) Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Thats why I did indicated to have 2 Anti-Spyware and the for the one to not avail or disable real time monitoring which would likely slowdown a system, In my experience no one or AS would say it can take out everything in one sitting. quite often having 2 widens the options. As per point that 70% of worlds infection today is of anti-spyware, malware etc... than a virus. And most of the virus circulating has already a fix than spyware, ransomware,rougeware,malware, adware that change by the minute - depending on how much profit the financiers gain along the way. It might be an overkill but i dont want to take chances of a possible return or occurence of a nasty infection.
