Re: Just Got Comcast Cable HSI; Consensus on Their McAfee Suite

I appreciate the input. Somehow, when something is "free" it just seems to make it a bit more difficult to dump it.

What is the feeling towards Kaspersky's Suite and Trend Micro's Suite, overall and as compared to McAfee's offering. Also, free AVG vs free Avira anti-virus programs; I read good things about each and have tried AVG but not Avira.

I was using Comodo's firewall before going to Comcast and found it more than satisfactory, though training it was a bit tedious. Speaking of which, I am concerned that McAfee's firewall has only shown maybe a half dozen training pop-ups, which may or may not be a good thing.

Hopefully, others in my situation will benefit from the advice from you more "seasoned" and knowledgeable folk.

Regards;

Gerry

You had to ask about Kaspersky, and here is MY answer...

»Kaspersky, You lost me at ISwift..

And NO, I am not promoting my thread, I am just trying to inform, warn, and show you that anything Kaspersky is NOT a wise and pragmatic choice. I am now using Avast and I love it!

As for McAfee, although I don't have the same attitude about them versus Kaspersky, I used them in the past; Detection was actually quite good, however, again, the cure was worst than the disease...
