Posted October 27, 200618 yr 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!
October 28, 200618 yr 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.
October 29, 200618 yr Author It's not good, though I like the anti-virus, thats what I have on my system.
October 29, 200618 yr 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.
October 29, 200618 yr Author As I said, I ain't using it. Back to ZoneAlarm Pro, though I am using CA Anti virus, which has always worked perfectly.
November 19, 200618 yr I'd suggest the freeware Comodo Firewall or Outpost Firewall Pro. They are the two firewalls claiming to pass all leak-tests today.
