Ultimate Predator Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm using it now actually, it seems to be doing really well, anyone else tried it? http://home2.ca.com/servlet/ControllerServ...00&Env=BASE EDIT: After some more testing I discovered that the Firewall is very weak. So I tried ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, but that has a weak anti-virus. So I thought I tried Avast Pro, but the two conflict. So I'm back to what I had before, CA Anti-Virus and ZoneAlarm Pro!

coltm4carbine Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I remember being in the beta for it but it didn't work well for me so I left it. I remember it detecting loads of viruses in the folder on my desktop called "Infections" even after I told it not to scan it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 It's not good, though I like the anti-virus, thats what I have on my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredvries Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Be careful with it. There are reports that CA AntiSpyware (the old Pest Patrol) can damage SpywareBlaster to the point that it rendered it inoperable. To track the issue see here. JavaCool, the creator of SpywareBlaster, to date hasn't heard anything yet about a possible fix from CA. If you are experiencing problems then the only workaround at the moment is to disable the CA Anti-Spyware component, and reboot. (Note: The newest version of CA Anti-Spyware causes issues with some other programs as well, because it tries to inject its code into other processes to hook various APIs.) If anyone is experiencing a problem please contact CA support and pressure them to develop and release a fix. JavaCool would greatly appreciate it - sometimes having enough customers email over an issue does wonders for getting things done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 As I said, I ain't using it. Back to ZoneAlarm Pro, though I am using CA Anti virus, which has always worked perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'd suggest the freeware Comodo Firewall or Outpost Firewall Pro. They are the two firewalls claiming to pass all leak-tests today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
