Anyone use Cox High Speed Internet security software?

If so, is it crippled in any way?

I just made a new computer and don't feel like springing for another copy of Norton.

Thanks for the link. I am familiar with all that. I been around for a while. I did a search before I posted.

I wanted to know who has specifically used Cox Cable's free software, and what they thought of it.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Dan

 
I seen the cox crapware (McAfee spinoffs) on dozens of systems that I service, and I remove the suite every time. Their software is bloated and you're better off using the following:

1) AntiVir or AVG if you can't afford to spend <$40 on a quality AV
2) Windows XP Firewall (SP2) or Kerio
3) Spam blockers need too much training IMHO so I don't use them. It takes a few seconds each day to delete the unwanted mail.
4) If you don't have XP SP2 then get the Google toolbar for a popup blocker

Thanks,

I used Mcafee 2 years ago and didn't like it then.

I don't like spam blockers either and I use the google toolbar for popups.

I may just spring for a 3 user Symantec antivirus....with rebates it's almost free. I'll need AV for my new laptop too.

Any other opinions?

Dan
