Anyone have experience with Cox Communications Security Suite? I'm
considering dumping Norton and going with Cox's Security Suite since it is
free (or included) as a subscriber to Cox High Speed.

Do you know if Cox is powered by Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro or is it stand
alone?

Thanks!

Ask your ISP what the suite comes with. Personally, I do not recommend
these types of software packages at all.

Definitely dump Norton and go with a stand-alone A-V software install
such as NOD32 http://www.eset.com *Not free* - well worth the small
investment.

More than two anti-spyware apps would be overkill and a burden
to the O/S.

Thats why I did indicated to have 2 Anti-Spyware and the for the one to not
avail or disable real time monitoring which would likely slowdown a system,
In my experience no one or AS would say it can take out everything in one
sitting. quite often having 2 widens the options. As per point that 70% of
worlds infection today is of anti-spyware, malware etc... than a virus. And
most of the virus circulating has already a fix than spyware,
ransomware,rougeware,malware, adware that change by the minute - depending
on how much profit the financiers gain along the way.

It might be an overkill but i dont want to take chances of a possible return
or occurence of a nasty infection.
