"I would NEVER pay for CA ISS"
Version: CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2011 7.0.0.115
Pros
CA ISS is provided FREE from Road Runner.
Cons
1. NOT Worth being provided FREE from Road Runner.
2. Lets in Mal-ware.
3. It Is Slow, Slow, Slow.
4. Shuts itself Down about once a week.Summary
Ca ISS is a poor ISS . It is so SLOW it makes my old P4 2.4 GHz laptop unusable. In contrast AVG runs with no troubles at all and, if you what for a sale you can get it FREE with a mail in rebate.
On my desk top it is SLOW and, will from time to time encounter problems and close. At onetime it would not update for about 30 days I kept getting "Update Failed" messages from it.So I called CA Tech Support. After A Tech looked at my computer remotely I was told I needed to pay them $150.00 for what was causing the problem to be fixed. The way I see it their ISS let the problem in to my computer they should fix it FREE. I build computers. I don't pay $150.00 for Tech Support. I am Tech Support to my friends and family. I uninsulated CA ISS and installed FREE AVG. WOW running AVG just reminded me how SLOW CA ISS is. AVG also found 3 viruses and a Trojan in my computer. After the free trial of AVG ran out I uninsulated it and put CA ISS back on.(don't forget I get CA FREE from RR) The response of my computer was immediately slowed and after 3 days it did its' old "Encountered a Problem" and closed thing again.I'm looking elsewhere for new Internet Security.I have tried Kaspersky too and it runs just fine on all my computers.
So, my conclusion is - CA ISS is not worth being FREE. -

"Over all CA is the best Suite I have used, Try it"
Version: CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2011 7.0.0.115
Pros
Great service, All service they provide on connect to an online account, which you can move for one computer to another - which means if you buy a new computer u don't not have to buy an new suite, does not eat all your system resources
Cons
no off line updates, you have to wait tell you find a connection to update CA
Summary
This is a great product, it does the same as the bigger names with less memory, you CAN use fire fox and E browsers. The for was works well and the anti virus if update all the time. You can check all you USB devices, CA checks for drives and updates them. CA is the best suite i have used to date.

"Poor protection with problems that required uninstall"
Version: CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2011 7.0.0.115
Pros
This product became poor and useless.
CA changed their anti-phishing and I cannot rely on it when I go to buy. I cannot use Firefox. After about an hour browsing it stops and I must restart it. I switched to a different faster and reliable solution.Cons
I hated it
Summary
Uninstall it and move to a different solution
