3 stars (Average, About Same As Norton) - I was told by a friend that this product was way better than the norton one, but after trying both this one slows down your computer just as much. In fact, it is pretty much worthless active protection feature for internet browsing because it slows it down to a crawl (and I have a nice pentium 4 machine).
5 stars (eTrust EZ Armor. Review After 2 Months?) - Well, been using it for awhile and I suppose its been great. Bought for $8.99 with 8 months left is a nice deal. Why do I just suppose its been great? Well, the thing about this antivirus is that it updates 2x a day, almost invisibly and unnoticably behind the background, and works just the same. And when I scan, nothing ever shows up. So I don't know if its really working or not haha. I just know my computer is doing great. Just remember to get the latest version of this antivirus from their site.
The firewall works quite nicely even though you have to give it a few days to configure your settings and see what you want and don't want accessing the computer and internet. But the problem went away. It seems to work quite well.
Do this to protect your computer. You need at least 512 MB Ram for all the usage but do this to protect from 99% Spyware Adware Viruses Hackers etc out there. Get eTrust Armor for antivirus and firewall, let it update automatically twice a day morning and night, than get Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D and Spyware Blaster for immunity against spywares etc before they hit your cpu. Find a good registry cleaner and get avant browser if you want, helps stop pop ups which leads to sites that distributes spywares or viruses. Boom. Its been 2 months, only spyware I got are the usual ones that are ALWAYS on my computer. Can't get them out of registry unless I really go into there, I'm not too great on in depth computer stuff so nothing I can do here.
Well, get this software, its scanning is pretty fast. Its overall pretty good. I SUPPOSE. Nice day to all.
5 stars (Better PC performance) - I had trusted one of the major company's antivirus software, but it caused me a lot of conflicts between softwares, it took me like 2 minutes to turn off, and even longer to turn on. When I scanned the system for viruses I couldn't do anything else. And when I wanted to watch movies there was a lot of skipping.
Now my computer is performing much better with this antivirus and firewall. Now I can surf the net while scanning my system. I upgraded the software and a whole system scan took only 35 minutes. That was pretty impressive, because usually it took me over an hour, no matter the program, with the difference I could do other things with EZ.
Best thing is I got a 1 year license through microsoft and it hasn't expired, but when the time comes I'm pretty sure I will renew it.
You can also configure it to scan files sent through IM programs. It scans emails, with out slowing down the upload or download.
This is the cheapest program, but it really delivers. My sister in England got it too and is pretty satisfied.
