Summary: Your own common sense is better, without the overhead
Review: If you now have a clean system which runs efficiently and effectively manages to connect to various mail servers, internet connections, high speed connections, play games, et al and you have no problems you're in good shape. Don't install this product. Effective immediately you will encounter various memory resident "trap" processes which reconfigure continuously in real time all your settings. You must completely terminate all processes if you want to run those demanding games (eg Madden 2004) you previously enjoyed. You'll also want to have your password list handy and instructions from your web hosts to get those POP mail accounts back. The firewall will do little besides tell you about "attacks" which are effectively your own handshakes. I'm shocked and awed at how much damage this "preventive medicine" inflicted. If you're running a simple system and don't use anything beyond basic word processing and web based e-mail it is probably just the thing. Otherwise ... regret is a six letter word.

Summary: PC-Cillin 2003 - Unobtrusive and straight forward
Review: PC-Cillin has been my choice of superior anti-virus protection for several years. It has matured into a top-notch AV product and has always been user friendly. I started with Norton AV but quickly moved to PC-Cillin for it's features. PC-Cillin's real-time protection intercepts viruses with a Windows like alert unlike Norton AV with it's DOS textual base screen. PC-Cillin will scan networked computers which Norton AV will not do. Norton AV2003 on my son's pc locked up consistently on a scan of six viruses. It was removed within two hours and PC-Cillin 2003 was ordered and installed. It detected and removed the six viruses without problems. Symantec received a 'less than nice' comment from me and refunded the purchased cost of Norton AV.
Unlike Symantec's claim to their product, for me, PC-Cillin is the most trusted Anti-Virus in the world. Their support is top-notch. Just because Norton AV and McAfee are heavily advertised and popularly carried by retail stores does NOT make those products better. The value received is what PC-Cillin delivers in it's protection. Pricing promotions and rebates on the 'other' products do not constitute real value. A Trend-Micro customer always for all the right reasons.
