Re: Internet Security Software

IMHO, it's kind of a crap shoot. I moved from McAfee to Trend Micro's PCCillin (?) when McAfee got bloated and slow. After two year Trend Micro was following McAfee so I went with Norton, because I got it free from my ISP.

I have removed Norton and re-installed it on my home machine to solve a problem.

I have remove McAfee and reinstalled it on my neighbor's machine to solve a problem.

We dumped Trend Micro at work about 18 month ago because of server problem (I'm not the networking guy so can't be more specific,

That said, I run Norton on my desktop at home and Avast on my laptop.

Now I suspect this didn't help you at all, other than to say I have suffered the uninstall, reintall pain.

When I signed up for broadband at home, I got Norton Internet Security for

occasionally, after a re-boot, get error messages that say I turned off

(Symantec) is to remove NIS and re-install it. Well, let's just say that
this seems like a lot of work just to fix the problem.



I used to use Trend Micro's Internet Security on another PC, and never had
issues. They sent me an email to upgrade to their Titanium 2013 for free
since my subscription, I guess, had not expired. I'll have to check with
them about that.



But the reason I am writing is to find out if anyone here has had
experiences (good / bad / mediocre) with Titanium. I don't want to go
through a lot of pain again (getting my flu shot today is all that I think I
can handle for a week or so).
