RSSTest CA Internet Security Suite 2008
By the Betanews Staff | Published June 12, 2007, 12:16 PM
CA is seeking beta testers for the 2008 version of its Internet Security Suite Plus, its all-in-one application for protecting against viruses, phishing attacks, spyware, spam and other Web borne threats. The software bundles together CA's other products, including eTrust and the popular PestPatrol program (now known as CA Personal Firewall and CA Anti-Spyware, respectively).
New features in CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 are data backup and transfer, better anti-phishing capabilities, integrated parental controls, and easier installation. Testers will communicate directly with the development team to help refine the final product. Those interested can find more information and the short application survey on CA's beta program Web site.
Ill stick to staying to legit sites, Not downloading p2p, using firefox and not clicking on attachments in emails. If all else fails there is windows defender and avg free antivirus right?
I have only gotten viruses/trojan horse's 3 times in the last 10 years. 1 I downloaded a file via p2p. 2, I clicked on an attachment that came via email and 3, repeat no 1.

I've been using this suite for a few years now without any problems.
The antivirus is about as light and easy to use as it they come and the spyware scanning is really quick too.

I already run NOD32. Why would I want to mess around with this garbage?

They clearly do not want beta testers that badly. That's one helluva form to fill out.

It probably takes all but 10 minutes to fill out and read the EULA. Less than a 1/10th of what it takes to recover from some of the infections propogating on the net.

Some of us do not have ten minutes for experimentation--especially when our systems are already fully protected with well-known and respected apps. Trade ten minutes for an unknown? Nope, not here.

ZA went from being a great product until coupla years ago, to this mess...... methinks they wanted to emulate industry 'leader' Symantec.

CA Internet Security Suite 2007 is the worst firewall and security product I have used in over 15 years of having a computer. It had conflicts being installed and caused conflicts with just about every product I own.
I have no doubt this new version is any different, the only thing CA has going for them is a good refund policy.
I loved the 2006 version, everything worked but they decided to "remove" just about every feature that worked and replace it with a buggy crappy new version.

On the contrary, CA ISS 2007 is far more stable and reliable than it's previous incarnations such as 'eTrust ISS'. I'd say your PC is the exception to the rule: we've successfully installed/upgraded many machines with the new CA software.
It's particularly useful for idiots who want a firewall but are too retarded to use one. It's also becoming an 'okay' alternative to Zone Alarm's Suite, which has some SERIOUS issues these days.
Why can't one company make a decent ISS? Start with NOD32 as your AV/AS, then move up from there. :)

"...the worst firewall and security product I have used in over 15 years..."
I see you haven't used Norton, which is still far worse. It's pretty much impossible to beat the Norton garbage in terms of crappiness.

FYI, Eset (developers of NOD32) has already released a beta version of Eset Smart Security, their upcoming Internet Security Suite. As a matter of fact, it is currently the ISS I'm running on this PC. You can find it listed here in Betanews. It's worth trying.
