It does use some system resources but not nearly as bad as Macafee or Norton's suites. I also run AVG anti-virus on the rest and it found a few trojans in some old zip files on a data drive that Norton failed to find. I still feel you need to have a little common sence on what you click and open :) As far as reviews go...they are worthless..some of those people try installing these newer versions of Security Suites on old systems and they are in trouble before they even get started.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17455051 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 22:31:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17451483 Dogbert : I installed just the firewall v.5.5.109.000. It is basically ZoneAlarm Pro. It works flawlessly. However, in the newest version of CA they have changed from Zonealarm to Tiny for the firewall.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17451483 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 13:04:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17451249 narcoreality : You don't have to install everything. When I installed it, I just installed the anti-virus and that's it. I didn't care for the other stuff (Pest Patrol, Anti Spam and the firewall).

Better still to invest in some software that works! Pay the price. That's how newer better software is made.

I wouldn't put watered down gasoline in my expensive auto.
I tend to care about how my operating system is running on my pc just the same. :)

Its better than nothing]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17401880 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 13:52:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17401858 Lar : I had a few questions...

So has anyone had issues and called Mediacom for support with this? And if so what kind of support did you receive?

A review of the software show that it isn't the best.

There is no Zone Alarm code in this software. CA acquired Tiny Software and they are using their code. All CA did was to mimic Zone Alarms features.

Port 135 is left open too. Not sure if they patched that yet.

Also seeing posts about slow PC performance after install.

Interesting reading here:
»www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2020906,00.asp

Read and Investigate before you take the plunge.

Some user reviews here:
»www.amazon.com/gp/product/custom···n=229534

By the looks of things this Software is on the price decline and is not widely being endorsed. I even saw Newegg had it for free at one time.

Doesn't seem to be taking the public by storm.

Installer beware.

1. Go to this link »https://home3.ca.com/Login2.aspx?lang=en_US
You will have to enter your mediacom email account address. If you are like me, you don't know your CA password.

2. Chose "I forgot my password"
The page will comeup where you will enter your mediacom email address and CA will now send you an email with your CA Passowrd.

3. Go back to »https://home3.ca.com/Login2.aspx?lang=en_US and login with your mediacom email addy and the new password you got from CA. You will be sent to a page which will allow you to download v3.

oh .. and it work ;)

I retrieved the email and downloaded eISS.exe ... the version number is 1.0.0.5. Is this the lastest version from CA. I noticed the title was still eTrust.

However, I have been running it for well over a year and have had no problems aside from installing on multiple pc's with the same license key. Eventually, the license key expired.

i'm sure it's fine for some, but i'm not really pc savvy and reconfiguring stuff so i could access yahoo mail was a hassel, it said i had to enable a bunch of java scripting stuff fot it to work, problem was, it was already enabled.

the deal killer for me was the suggestion that i go thru MC for support.

glad you like it.

it just appears to be zone alarm pro from the looks of it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16520195 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 20:27:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517534 Turbocpe : Agree with Anonymous. I've been using it on a few of my machines and "bloated" would not be a word I describe the eTrust as. Honestly, and ironically, that is the exact word I use for Norton stuff, being a Norton user for the past several years (rebate on top of rebate = almost free upgrades each year). Are you using a really old machine? I've seen eTrust not be too kind on old, low resources available, machines.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517534 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:27:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517355 Anonymous : I have been using eTrust for over a year on one of my computers.

What is your old security set up?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16517355 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:00:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16516098 TwistedLefty : update, started causing problems and became a hassel to configure. used customer support to access online assistance and the CS told me i needed to get my support from MC.
so if i have this straight , if this security suite causes you problems that you don't know how to deal with then the company that is supposed to provide support just directs you to MC.
too much hassel for me i am going back to my old security set up. i DO NOT reccomend this bloated security suite.

has anyone any reviews of this security suite, ie; does it bog your system down with a bunch of stuff like the current symantec offering?

ok i went ahead and took a chance, it appears to me to be a nenamed version of zone alarm pro.
so far so good]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16483105 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 05:54:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16086015 Anonymous : You can use it for multiple computers (no activation).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16086015 Fri, 12 May 2006 19:57:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16084760 Turbocpe : I'm pretty sure the license is for 1 pc.
